Dana
White's recent Instagram Stories blunder has drawn the ire of
Renato
“Money Moicano†Carneiro.

White, on one of his stories, paid tribute to late
Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight Allan
Nascimento, who tragically passed away in his sleep at just 34
years of age due to a heart attack. The UFC CEO's next story showed
him smoking a cigar, with the caption reading, “Great Day.â€

‘Dana messed up this one': Renato Carneiro calls out UFC CEO's
insensitive post

While the posts are clearly unrelated, fans subsequently pointed
out White's insensitive order of posts on Instagram, catching the
attention of Carneiro, who previously mourned his compatriot after
hearing the tragic news.

“Damn, man… Dana messed up on this one, posted the kid’s photo and
then the cigs and we’re just enjoying we’re just enjoying!!??†The
UFC lightweight wrote on X. “We really are just passing through
this cruel big world! Only Jesus saves.â€

Carneiro returned to winning ways earlier this year, defeating
Chris
Duncan to bounce back from consecutive losses to Islam
Makhachev and Beneil
Dariush.

Rest in peace Alan Nascimento.

He has an incredible submission game, he's big, and he isn't afraid of anyone. Walker's potential is there for all to see and while there are no guarantees that he can go all the way, there are definitely some interesting fights out there for him.

In a recent interview, Walker came up with a few ideas himself.

Walker looks to next UFC challenge

“I want Derrick Lewis or Josh Hokit,†Walker told MMA Junkie. “I'll be ready to fight in October or November. I have in mind these two guys: Derrick Lewis or Josh Hokit. This is who I want next.â€

“If I could pick, I would pick Derrick Lewis,†Walker said. “I think for me it's an interesting fight. He has a big name and a more big name than Josh Hokit. I think Derrick Lewis has an interesting name in the game. I watched him when I was young. He has the record for knocking people out, and I try to make my name in the game. I think this is a very interesting fight for me.â€

“I'm a soldier for the UFC,†Walker said. “Whoever the UFC gives me, I'm happy, and I'll agree. I'm not the kind of guy who says, ‘Who do I get in the negotiation?' No, whoever the UFC gives me, I'm happy to agree.â€

UFC champion Islam Makhachev has given his thoughts on the future of the new lightweight king Justin Gaethje.

At UFC Freedom 250, Justin Gaethje shocked the world and became the new undisputed UFC lightweight champion. He achieved this goal by forcing Ilia Topuria to quit on the stool, capping off what has been an incredible rollercoaster ride to the top of the division across the last ten years.

Now, many are questioning what exactly is left for Gaethje to accomplish in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Some want to see him compete for as long as he physically can, whereas others feel like retirement would be a solid option given the punishment he has put his body through over the years.

In a recent interview, Islam Makhachev weighed in on the Gaethje debate.

Makhachev discusses Gaethje's future

“I don't know. I think this guy make like enough in this sport,†Makhachev told MMA Junkie of Gaethje. “He became UFC champion. He also has many records. What's next for him? If I'm matchmaker, I don't know honestly. But this guy is not in good shape right now. I saw him last week. I said, ‘Hey, why you become fat?' He's just enjoying the belt. He deserves it.â€

“I said before that fight, Justin is a warrior,†Makhachev said. “He's going to fight. You have to knock him out to stop him. This guy is going to fight all rounds. Maybe Topuria a little bit underestimated him. I don't know. It is what it is. This is MMA, small gloves, and very dangerous sport.â€
