Ryan Garcia sets Zuffa Boxing conditions before potential deal with Dana White
Ryan Garcia won't be bound by guidelines if he ever signs with
Zuffa Boxing.

Garcia is scheduled to put his WBC welterweight title on the line
against Zuffa Boxing's Conor Benn on Sept. 12 at T-Mobile Arena in
Las Vegas. While the particulars of the bout are unknown to Garcia,
he believes it will be co-promoted. Furthermore, Garcia is certain
that he will not be wearing Zuffa fight gear and claims he will
never wear a Zuffa uniform even if he signs with the promotion.

Ryan Garcia explains why he would refuse Zuffa Boxing gear
while praising Dana White's new promotion

Garcia explains that he likes to express himself by designing his
own outfit and walkout music. He vows to never sign with Zuffa
Boxing if they don't allow him to express himself the way he wants.
However, Garcia complimented Dana
White for the way he is building up Zuffa Boxing.

“Even if I ever signed with Zuffa, I will make sure that I never
wear a Zuffa outfit,†Garcia told Ariel Helwani. “I’m wearing my
own outfits, doing my own thing. If you don’t like it, then I’ll
never sign with you. At the end of the day, I love the whole
‘design your outfit, design your walkout.' I’m not about to be a
robot. I don’t care how much money you offer me. I just love the
whole show of it and I feel like they should let certain fighters
do that. I would like to express myself… I think Dana White’s doing
an amazing job with Zuffa so far… I like how they run the press
conferences… I think it’s better.â€

Zuffa Boxing is White's venture into the world of pugilism. The

Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO wants to bring boxing under
a centralized UFC-style model, but is facing fierce competition
from traditional boxing promoters like Eddie Hearn.

Jasmine Jasudavicius eyes Natalia Silva title rematch in Toronto

Jasmine Jasudavicius eyes Natalia Silva title rematch in Toronto
Jasmine
Jasudavicius wants to fight for an
Ultimate Fighting Championship title on home soil.

Jasudavicius will have the Canadian crowd behind her when she faces
Erin
Blanchfield on Oct. 17 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta.
She views the matchup as a women's flyweight title eliminator. With
UFC 336 reportedly targeted for Toronto next year, Jasudavicius
hopes a victory over Blanchfield will earn her a quick turnaround
and a title shot in Canada.

Jasmine Jasudavicius sees Erin Blanchfield fight at UFC
Edmonton as path to Natalia Silva title rematch

Valentina
Shevchenko relinquished the 125-pound title because of injury,
and Natalia
Silva won the vacant championship at UFC
332 by defeating Cong Wang by
unanimous decision. Jasudavicius believes beating Blanchfield on
Saturday would warrant a rematch with Silva, calling the
opportunity to challenge for the belt in Canada an “honor.â€

“I think whoever wins this fight does expect a title shot,â€
Jasudavicius said at media day ahead of
UFC Edmonton. “I think this fight is the title eliminator. I'm
not here for a long time; I'm here for a good time. So, I would
love to stay active; I would love to fight in Toronto and it would
be an honor to fight for the belt in Toronto.â€

Jasudavicius (15-4) is coming off a victory over Karine
Silva, rebounding from a loss to Manon
Fiorot that ended a five-fight winning streak. The Canadian
also lost to current champion Silva in her second UFC appearance in
2022.

UFC Vegas 123: 'Moicano vs. Nolan' Live Results and Highlights

The fights return to the Apex for tonight's UFC Vegas 123 event, a 12-bout fight card headlined by Renato Moicano vs. Tom Nolan.

Moicano (21-7-1 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since submitting Chris Duncan this past April with a face crank. That triumph snapped a two-fight losing skid for ‘Money', who had previously dropped fights to Beneil Dariush and Islam Makhachev (see that here). The Brazilian has gone 5-2 over his past seven fights overall.

Meanwhile, Tom Nolan (11-1 MMA) will enter the Octagon sporting a five-fight winning streak, with his most recent victory coming over Fares Ziam this past June. ‘Big Train' suffered his lone career loss back in January of 2024, when he was TKO'd by Nikolas Motta in his promotional debut.

UFC Vegas 123 is co-headlined by a welterweight bout featuring Randy Brown taking on Jacobe Smith.

Brown (20-8 MMA) will enter the Octagon with hopes of snapping a two-fight losing skid, this after suffering back-to-back losses against Gabriel Bonfim and Kevin Holland respectively. Prior to those setbacks, ‘Rude Boy' was coming off a second-round knockout victory over Nicolas Darby in April of 2025.

Meanwhile, Jacobe Smith (13-0 MMA) will be making a quick turnaround, this after earning a first-round TKO victory over Bruce Whitehead just four weeks ago at UFC 332 (see that here).

Also featured on tonight's UFC Vegas 132 main card is a welterweight bout between Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani and Farman Hasanov.

Lebosnoyani (11-2 MMA) will enter the contest on a six-fight winning streak, with his most recent victory coming over Seok Hyeon Ko this past July. ‘Mufasa' has gone 2-0 since making his Octagon debut back in February.

Meanwhile, Farman Hasanov (5-0) made his promotional debut back in June at UFC Baku, where he kept his perfect record in check with a unanimous decision win over Eric Nolan. ‘The Lion' has earned stoppage wins in three of his five professional fights.
