Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder Islam
Makhachev poked fun at Conor
McGregor following the Irishman's anticlimactic defeat to
Max
Holloway.

McGregor suffered a knee injury with the very first strike he threw
in his rematch with Holloway at
UFC 329 in Las Vegas. He couldn't plant both feet properly
thereafter and the referee subsequently intervened, calling a halt
to the action. Makhachev has now mocked the former two-division
champion.

Islam Makhachev posts ‘Conor beat Conor’ after Max Holloway
stops McGregor at UFC 329

Makhachev has addressed the result of UFC 329's main event, wherein
his friend and mentor Khabib
Nurmagomedov's bitter rival failed to return to the win column.
UFC featherweight champ Alexander
Volkanovski posted his live reaction to the injury on Instagram
and Makhachev commented with a laughing emoji underneath.

“Conor beat Conor congrats Max,†the former lightweight and current
welterweight champion then posted on X.

Notably, McGregor commended Makhachev in the lead-up to UFC 329,
ranking him above Nurmagomedov and Daniel
Cormier. “Body of work, finishes. I rank him above Khabib and
DC. People around him are talking about [retirement], but there’s a
lot left in that boy,†he said in an interview.

Nurmagomedov vs. McGregor remains the highest-selling pay-per-view
in UFC history, kicking off the Dagestan-Ireland rivalry, which
will have another chapter at UFC
330, where Makhachev will look to defend his belt against
Ian
Garry.

Video: Sean King slams Raul Rosas’ brother unconscious at Noche UFC

Sean King III just made a statement in his UFC debut.

On Saturday, King stepped up on nine days' notice to take on Jessie Rosas — the elder brother of Raul Rosas — in a preliminary bout at Noche UFC, and things couldn't have gone much better for the undefeated “King of New Orleans.â€

Just 30 seconds into the fight, King ducked under a left hand from Rosas right into a takedown attempt, and as Rosas tried to defend, King hoisted him in the air and slammed him viciously down to the mat, knocking Rosas out cold. King pounced with some brutal ground-and-pound on the unconscious Rosas before the referee intervened, calling the bout off just 36 seconds into the first round.

The win moves the 22-year-old King to 7-0 in his professional career with five finishes. For a young man who turned professional last year, King's future looks bright.

Check out King's savage highlight below.

Video: Gordon Ryan involved in huge brawl at ADCC: ‘Thanks to the Kazakh guys for the scrap’

“Here's my perspective of what just transpired, when it was transpiring.

“So, obviously, I'm coaching Dominick — I have no idea what's going on, I'm just coaching Dominick, and Dorian and the Kazakh kid are competing. They get into whatever scuffle or argument, whatever the case is, I don't know. I don't know what's going on, but I do know that it's just John, Mike, and Dorian. John and Mike are in their 50s, 60s. So it's just the three of them and like 15 Kazakh guys.

“So this is all happening, and I'm like, for sure when this match is over there's going to be a fight. 100 percent. So I angle my chair toward their mat while I'm still coaching Dominick. The match ends, the fight starts, so I'm like, OK, we're going to have a fight. Like 15 Kazakh dudes jump John, Mike, and Dorian. So I jump in, I crack the first guy, the second that one of them sees me, a couple of them start yelling, ‘Gordon, Gordon, Gordon!' So they all turn towards me because they realized I was there.

“They immediately tackled me, two guys grabbed my legs and pushed me over so I just fell over. Then like five or six of them started hitting me in the head. A couple guys are soccer kicking me, a couple guys are punching me, but I still managed to heist back up to me knees. Even though there were between four and six of them … on top of me, I still heisted up and started coming up to a single-leg. Then the fight got broken up. I stood up, I was like, ‘Cool, fight's done. Everybody's cool.' So I just ran back, sat down, started coaching Dominick.

“So, thanks to the Kazakh guys for the scrap. That was fun. And always remember, I'm fight of the night, every night.â€
