Islam Makhachev mocks Max Holloway following two-belt jab
Islam
Makhachev has responded to Max
Holloway’s criticism of his post-fight celebration.

Makhachev successfully defended the
Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight title against
Ian
Garry at UFC
330, earning a unanimous decision win in Philadelphia. The
Russian was seen holding two belts as he was announced the victor,
which Holloway called into question.

330

Holloway was quick to question Makhachev posing with two belts
despite vacating his lightweight title last year.

“Why the f*ck do you have two belts? For aura? You're just
defending one belt, bro,†Holloway said during a recent Kick
stream.

Makhachev was quick to react, taking a sly dig at the former
featherweight and BMF champ.

“I don't know bro,†Makhachev commented on Instagram. “It's even
too heavy to hold. But you don't understand, sorry.â€

Makhachev vacated the lightweight championship last year after four
successful defenses. He subsequently moved up to welterweight,
captured the 170-pound strap by dethroning Jack
Della Maddalena and has now defended the 170-pound championship
once. He's indicated that he wants to compete again before Ramadan
and is targeting Carlos
Prates for his next title defense.

Holloway's last bout was also at welterweight. The Hawaiian's
rematch with Conor
McGregor at
UFC 329 ended in anticlimactic fashion as the Irishman suffered
an injury early, prompting a referee stoppage just over a minute
into the bout.

Dricus du Plessis' move to light heavyweight teased by next potential opponent

The Octagon remains at the Apex for tonight's UFC Vegas 124 event, a 14-bout fight card headlined by Waldo Cortes-Acosta vs. Johnny Walker.

Cortes-Acosta (17-4 MMA) will enter this evening's main event with hopes of snapping a two-fight losing skid. ‘Salsa Boy' is coming off unanimous decision losses to Curtis Blaydes and Alexander Volkov in his most recent Octagon appearances. Prior to those setbacks, Waldo had strung together three straight stoppage wins, including a second-round TKO victory over Derrick Lewis.

Meanwhile, Johnny Walker (23-10 MMA) made his return to heavyweight last month and scored first-round knockout victory over Mick Parkin. The 34-year-old Brazilian has gone 2-3 over his past five fights overall.

UFC Vegas 124 is co-headlined by a women's strawweight bout between perennial division contenders Tatiana Suarez and Virna Jandiroba.

Suarez (12-1 MMA) will enter the contest on a two-fight winning streak, this after scoring victories over Amanda Lemos and Loopy Godinez in her most recent Octagon appearances. Prior to those triumphs, Tatiana had suffered her first career loss at the hands of Weili Zhang in a bout for the women's strawweight title.

Meanwhile, Virna Jandiroba (23-4 MMA) most previously competed this past April, where she scored a unanimous decision victory over Tabatha Ricci. Prior to that, ‘Carcará' dropped a decision to Mackenzie Dern in a fight for the promotion's then vacant strawweight title at UFC 321.

Video: Mo Deen’s vicious knockout sparks all-out brawl with chairs, steel barricades flying at Unhinged 3

The influencer boxing scene had a tough night, with a card getting cancelled before the Unhinged 3 main event.

On Saturday, influencer HSTikkyTokky put on a boxing event in Ireland, and in one of the featured contests featured winless Misfits Boxing fighter Mo Deen taking on MrTikTokUK. At long last, Mo Deen got a win, knocking down is overmatched opponent multiple times before delivering a fight-ending knockout.

After the win, Mo Deen leaped into the crowd towards the commentary table, where he attempted to get his hands on English Defence League co-founder and controversial U.K. political activist Tommy Robinson.

From there, Robinson is shown on camera holding a book, and Mo Deen attacked him in the ring, and all hell broke loose. Check out the footage below.

Chairs and even steel barricades were seen being lifted and thrown throughout the melee that took place in and around the ring, and the crowd. A few minutes later, the promotion called the event then and there.

Khamzat Chimaev's undefeated teammate reportedly lands UFC 335 fight
A bitter feud will reportedly come to a head at the
Ultimate Fighting Championship's final numbered event of
2026.

Damian
Pinas (11-1) and Baisangur
Susurkaev (12-0) are reportedly scheduled to clash at UFC
335 on Dec. 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. VestnikMMA first reported the matchup.

Damian Pinas and Baisangur Susurkaev’s feud leads to reported
UFC 335 fight

Both Pinas and Susurkaev have traded barbs online. Susurkaev
started the feud by claiming to not know who Pinas is. Pinas then
called out Susurkaev after his win over Cesar
Almeida in July. Pinas doubled down on his criticism of
Susurkaev after finishing Andrey
Pulyaev in October.

Pinas has secured stoppage victories in all his professional wins,
with his lone loss coming via disqualification for an illegal kick
on the Brazilian regional scene back in 2024. “The Baba Yaga†has
finished all three of his UFC fights inside the first round since
earning a contract on
Dana White's Contender Series last year.

Meanwhile, Susurkaev, Khamzat
Chimaev's training partner, has also stopped all three of his
UFC opponents. The undefeated Chechen has only seen the judges'
scorecards once in 12 professional wins. While Susurkaev was
originally scheduled to fight Donte
Johnson at UFC
334 in November, he withdrew for undisclosed reasons.
