“Holly brings a unique perspective and elite-level experience that
only someone who has shared the cage with top competition can
provide,†Cyborg said in a press release. “Preparing alongside a
fighter of Holly's caliber gives me an added edge as I face one of
the toughest tests of my career. This is a dangerous opponent and I
am treating it with the seriousness it deserves.â€
Cyborg hasn't lost in nine straight outings since her defeat to

Morning Report | Nakida Bidarian takes shots at Dana White’s ‘irreverence’ towards fighters, lays out his vision for MVP MMA
Published
1 hour agoon
August 6, 2026
Last week, Bidarian and his business partner Jake Paul announced that MVP was merging with the PFL for a new combat sports promotion. The merger will complete in 2027, with the two products operating under the MVP banner, and for Bidarian, there's a very clear mission statement for what they hope to achieve.
“The opportunity is very clear: a fighter-first platform that prioritizes the fans,†Bidarian told TMZ Sports. “And more and more you're seeing that the incumbent within the space doesn't prioritize building fighter IP, but prioritizes the company's IP, which is great business, but don't get me wrong, you have to make fighters feel like they're the priority. That's what our platform has always been about.â€
Bidarian is the co-founder of MVP, and as such, has had a major hand in promoting some of the biggest combat sports events of the past five years, including MVP MMA 1 earlier this year, headlined by Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano, which broke U.S. viewership records.
Bidarian also knows the UFC intimately, starting his combat sports career as their Chief Strategy Officer in 2011, before becoming CFO in 2016. He left the UFC after overseeing the sale of the company to Endeavor, and linked up with Paul a few years later, starting MVP. And while Bidarian usually keeps things respectful with his old employers, as he and Paul prepare to challenge the global structure of MMA promotion, Bidarian allowed himself to be a bit more pointed in his criticism of the UFC today.
“I had the privilege of being at the UFC as Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Financial Officer and learned many great things,†Bidarian said. “They're the best promotional entity in the world. But I also saw what things I would do better. I think his reaction to our deal is in the same weekend where a reporter asked him, ‘What fight are you most excited about?' and he said to that reporter, ‘That's a stupid question. Of course, the main event, and I'm hoping to see a few holy shit moments.' That's the irreverence of what that has become in terms of fighters and the product.
“We are definitely not at the level of the UFC today. No way. They're in the business for 30-plus years. We've been in the business for less than five years. But we've put on bigger events than they have … The biggest event in the history of modern combat sports was put on by MVP. When it comes to MMA, we've done the same thing: biggest event in U.S. history. So we're a force to be reckoned with. And as Jake has publicly said, what they're doing behind the scenes to try to hurt our business, hurt our ability to market, is very different than what they say publicly.â€
Paul and MVP rose to prominence primarily on the back of Paul's influencer boxing, but also for the way Paul directly attacked UFC CEO Dana White on issues like fighter pay and medical care. And for their big push into MMA, that is a cornerstone issue for MVP, with Bidarian saying they want fighters to get “the vast majority†of the revenue generated from their events. And in the long run, Bidarian hopes this policy, plus their own promotional expertise with fundamentally change MMA.
“I think Jake said last week, there's Nike and Adidas,†Bidarian said. “There's Coke and Pepsi. We want it to be UFC and MVP. We're not fooling ourselves to say we're going to be the reference brand for the sport in the next year or two, but give us a little bit of time. Let our expertise in Gen Z and Gen Alpha continue to show you how we differentiate from that existing platform that is the reference brand for the sport.
“In the history of sports, there hasn't been a new entrant that's come in and put on an event that's been as big, if not bigger than the incumbent events that they've ever put on. … So we know we've done something that's unique, it's different, there's a market demand for it.â€
Competition. UFC owners welcome competition from new MVP-PFL combined company: ‘A rising tide lifts all boats.'
Fights. Joshua Van vs. Alexandre Pantoja 2, Arman Tsarukyan vs. Mauricio Ruffy set as full UFC 331 card revealed.
Retired. Jake Paul tries to coax Khabib Nurmagomedov out of retirement for MVP; Khabib responds.
Commentary. Robert Whittaker calls Joe Rogan's UFC 329 fight commentary ‘upsetting.'
GOAT. Islam Makhachev's coach argues a win at UFC 330 puts him in consideration as the greatest of all-time.

Darren Elkins reveals why hes walking away after UFC Vegas 120

Elkins wants to ride off into the sunset on his own terms.
The
Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran is set for his
retirement fight against Yadier Dell Valle at
UFC Vegas 120, taking place at Meta Apex in Las Vegas on Aug.
8.
‘I did it my way': Darren Elkins reflects on career ahead of
retirement bout
The 42-year-old revealed that he has been contemplating retirement
for quite some time, as his body is no longer what it once was.
After more than a decade and a half in the UFC, Elkins wants to lay
down his gloves inside the Octagon rather than announce his
retirement on social media.
“I'm older in age now,†Elkins said at media day. “But mostly, I'm
starting to get hurt now a little bit more often. Training all the
time is taking a toll on my body more than it used to. It's time;
I've been contemplating it for a while… I've always wanted to leave
my gloves in the Octagon; most people don't get that chance.â€
Elkins went 19-11 in the UFC, delivering some of the most violent
fights in featherweight history. Not one to trash talk, “The
Damage†also received respect from his opponents. In a sport where
fighters often cross boundaries and use gimmicks to sell fights,
Elkins is proud to have gone about his business with respect.
“I haven't had too many guys that have ever disrespected me in this
career,†Elkins said. “They know who I am, they know what I'm
about, they know I'm going to bring it. I didn't always get the
results I want, but they knew they were going to be in a fight… I
never had to talk crap about my opponents. I did it my way. I did
everything my way. Most people can't say that.â€
