Jorge Masvidal: Jon Jones has a better chance of rehabilitation than to fight again, Paddy Pimblett defeats Gaethje and Oliveira, but not Topuria, Cyril Gane does not deserve a shot of the title, McGregor would not be taken seriously if he applied for office
Jon Jones has a better chance of rehabilitation than to fight again
“I have no idea (if Jon Jones comes back). I don’t really think so or not.
“Jon is a wild man and proven yes. I think that one day he could wake up and say:” I fight and I don’t care. ” Put everything aside and just go 100 miles per hour to get shape and fight.
“Because he did not look in the best shape when I saw him, as the shape of the fight, as usual. He certainly had to be found. Part of me thinks that 60% I think he is not fighting, you know?
“I don’t think he will come back. I think that more a chance that he is going to rehabilitation and the fuck stays there than fights.”
Paddy Pimblett beats Justin Gaethje and Charles Oliveira – but not Ilia Topuria
“At the beginning I saw Paddy, when he came in, I saw a lot of noise and other things and how the UFC pushes him, and he became lower and weaker opponents. When he had one or two fights, I really started to see his skills.
“And then suddenly he got the fight of Chandler, and I thought:” Man, I would earn some money on it. ” I put a lot of money on Paddy and Paddy f ***** that I paid.
“Paddy has enough gifts to become a champion. It’s just against who. I don’t think he does it against Ilia. He is not a guy. I have to forget about Ilia, because I think he can’t overtake him. And it will be bad on my legs.
“But can he defeat other guys? He could beat other guys. I think he can be ready for such guys like Justin Gaethje or Charles Oliveira. He can be ready for these guys. And I saw him beating these guys. But Ilia? I don’t think so now.”
Cyril Gane does not deserve a heavyweight shot
“There is never a man who has no one chance. We have two hands, two feet and I haven’t seen aspinall, which fights significantly offensive.
“I think that if he takes off Gane, the fight is over and I wouldn’t mind that he did.
“I am really disappointed with UFC because it is a fight for a heavyweight title. It just doesn’t make sense for me.
“There are other guys more deserve to be a title and it didn’t go on his way.”
Conor McGregor would not be taken seriously if he applied for the office
“I think that the way he is carried is simply not taken seriously, because you can simply tell him by watching him, this guy is here, he left later.
“We intend to office and then decide to do something completely different.”
Darren Till Beats Luke Rockhold in boxing – a different story in a cage
“I think that now, mind, mind, mental psyche, I think he doesn’t sway. He will close him.
“Till has a good size, brings great importance, impact and speed. I think he is a bit better boxer than Luke. Now, in MMA, it would be a completely different question.
“I think Luke has phenomenal foundations, decent removal and good kicks. But in a straightforward boxing I will give a good advantage.”
Jones vs aspinall in the White House is a fight – aspinall is now really terrifying
“Jon is retired. I saw something he said that he was coming back and that.
“If Jon is fighting, I just want to see him against Tom Aspinall. I don’t want to see him against anyone else. Seriously, I just want to see Tom Aspinall fought if he returns.
“Jon could defeat everyone, just like Tom could beat everyone now. Tom’s movement like lithe, like 155-er.
“Just very tight to his body – he has good speed. Great time. If someone can overcome him [Jones]- Maybe I’m leaning on Tom because Tom is really really terrifying.
“But I just have the impression that Jon can beat someone on the right night, you know? He could take someone, is it about how much Jon trained? Because we know that Tom will get up and bleeding every day. Does Jon do the same?
“Because if it is and has a year to prepare, Jon could also defeat everyone in the world. It would be one of the biggest fights and could not be better in the law of the White House. We have Tom Aspinall, who are heading against American. Come on July 4.”
Jon Jones is strange that he doesn’t fight Tom Aspinall
“It’s a bit strange [Jones not fighting Aspinall]. There is a time when everything you want to do is fight the best, and then there is the time when you want to download checks.
“I feel that maybe Jon is between them, because he had a belt and he thinks that maybe Aspinall is not worthy or anything else, that there is no distinction to fight him.
“But at the same time we could say that Shogun could tell Jon Jones. When Rashad Evans was wounded and Jon Jones came in. Shogun gave him a chance to become a star. “
I completely changed the jdm vs makhachev forecast
“When Islam first moved up, I was very much for it and I really leaned towards JDM. But I watched more and more JDM tapes, and he does not have enough appreciation for a great athlete, which he is. Islam can take him off, but I think it will be complex to stop this guy.
“Now, when it comes to the Department of Sleeces and Stronging, JDM is in a different world compared to Islam. It will make Islam look bad on the legs, especially after the first round, in which they feel a bit, I think Maddalena can really, really tear Islam.
“But at the same time it seems to me that if Islam goes down early, I really think he could cause a lot of damage. But in general I rely now, when the fight is approaching and I saw more and more materials on Maddalena – I think he will do it.

Jan Blachowicz’s comeback faces a dangerous new threat at UFC Belgrade
Published

July 30, 2026
Blachowicz’s journey back to title contention has taken another
unexpected turn.
The former
Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight titleholder
was originally slated to rematch Bogdan
Guskov at
UFC Belgrade on Aug. 1 in Serbia. However, those plans changed
when Guskov was offered the
UFC Abu Dhabi main event spot against Magomed
Ankalaev following Khalil
Rountree’s withdrawal.
As such, Blachowicz (29-11-2) will now square off against Navajo
Stirling in the new co-main event in Belgrade and the Polish
veteran is unfazed by the change.
Jan Blachowicz prepares for UFC Belgrade fight against Navajo
Stirling
After Guskov accepted the short-notice bout against Ankalaev,
Blachowicz was paired with Stirling. The former champion insists
little has changed in his preparation.
“I am doing this all my life,†Blachowicz said in a recent
interview. “It's a new opponent. I have a lot of respect for him,
but it’s just another fighter who I have to stop. I don't think
about this mess around because I don't want to waste energy for
that. Okay, it's a new opponent; that's it. We do small changes and
we are here to win the fight against him, or a different opponent
doesn't matter.â€
The upcoming matchup gives Blachowicz an opportunity to halt the
longest winless stretch of his UFC tenure. He has gone four
straight outings without a victory and is coming off a majority
draw against Guskov this past December. His last win came all the
way back in May 2022 when he defeated Aleksandar
Rakic.
He'll have his work cut out for him against the surging Stirling,
who boasts a perfect 10-0 record.
“I’ve been doing this my whole life.”

Jon Jones breaks down matchups against fellow UFC double champs

Jones remains highly confident in his ability.
In a recent interview, the former
Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight and light
heavyweight titleholder weighed in on how he believes a fight
against fellow former two-division king Alex
Pereira and a wrestling match against longtime rival Daniel
Cormier would unfold, backing himself in both scenarios.
Jon Jones explains why he sees grappling as the deciding factor
in a hypothetical fight with Alex Pereira
Jones and Pereira were seemingly on a collision course when the
latter announced his move up to heavyweight for
UFC Freedom 250. However, with Jones' ongoing stalemate with
the UFC regarding his future, a fight against “Poatan†has fallen
through.
Nevertheless, Jones cites size as a key factor at heavyweight,
claiming his former opponents Stipe
Miocic and Ciryl Gane
are bigger than Pereira, who previously competed at 185 pounds.
“I watched Pereira train,†Jones said in an interview with AFL
Global. “I see his level of wrestling and it’s way behind. I feel
as if Stipe Miocic is a true heavyweight. He’s a big, big boy.
Ciryl Gane, when you see him in person, he’s a big, big boy. Alex
Pereira is not a big, big boy. He’s a lean guy. I think right now
he weighs maybe 250.â€
Jones believes his size and grappling would have overwhelmed
Pereira, predicting a submission win had they collided inside the
Octagon.
“I feel as if my physical strength would have been too much for
him,†Jones said. “I felt as if the moment I would have gotten him
to the ground, my submissions would have come pretty quickly. I
mean, everyone knows that. I think that’s the clearest path to
victory for me against Alex Pereira. But we’re not fighting. I am a
fan of him. I support him, and I want to see him do well.â€
“Bones†also discussed his approach towards a potential wrestling
match with Cormier, who he's already shared the cage with
twice.
“I think I would have beat D.C. in a wrestling match,†Jones said.
“It wouldn’t be easy, but I think I would beat him in wrestling. I
hear that he has problems with his back, so my strategy would be to
just try to wear on him. Not shoot, not go for the takedown, but
just hand fight, hand fight, hand fight and see if I could wear on
that back.â€

Tsarukyan will return to competition this weekend, though not
inside the Octagon.
The top-ranked
Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight contender is set to
face Indian fitness influencer Ankit Baiyanpuria in a
submission-only grappling match at a Hype Fighting event in
Armenia, the promotion announced on Instagram.
Arman Tsarukyan faces Ankit Baiyanpuria in a submission-only
grappling match at Hype Fighting in Armenia
Hype Fighting announced a submission-only grappling match between
Tsarukyan and Baiyanpuria for their upcoming event in Yerevan,
Armenia, on Aug. 1.
Tsarukyan has not competed in mixed martial arts since November
last year, when he submitted Dan Hooker.
The victory marked his return following a lengthy hiatus after
earning a decision win over former lightweight champion Charles
Oliveira at UFC
300 in April 2024.
While his next UFC appearance remains unconfirmed, Tsarukyan has
stayed active outside the promotion. The Armenian has competed
eight times under the Real American Freestyle banner, compiling a
7-1 record. His lone defeat came earlier this month, when he lost
on points to Colby
Covington.
Meanwhile, Baiyanpuria has emerged as one of India’s most notable
fitness influencers, building a massive online following through
his workout videos, traditional training methods and disciplined
lifestyle content. However, he has no notable professional
grappling credentials.
