Ronald
Humphrey doesn’t have any shortage of confidence when it comes
to his appetite for violence.

Humphrey, who recently beat Alexis
Miranda on
Dana White's Contender Series via submission to earn an

Ultimate Fighting Championship contract, grabbed fans'
attention for his killer instinct. He has since claimed that he
“embodies violence a lot in a healthy way.â€

after earning a UFC contract

When asked about the criticism of Ian Garry’s
performance in the recent welterweight title fight and UFC CEO
Dana
White's comments about the Irishman's lack of killer instinct,
Humphrey offered a very different perspective, explaining that
violence is a central part of how he approaches life.

“Yeah, I embody violence. I love it,†Humphrey said. “Literally,
I’ll walk into like a Whole Foods sometimes, and I just see all the
people that can’t fight. I’m like, man, I could really f*ck all
y’all up, and there’s nothing y’all could do about it, and I could
take this store over. And maybe I have like a couple of minutes
until the police get there, but like even then, like you’re done.
Like you’re cooked. Like what are you going to do to me? So yeah, I
definitely embody violence a lot in a healthy way.â€

Humphrey (5-0) showcased his well-rounded skillset against Miranda
on
Week 3 of DWCS 2026, scoring a big takedown in the opening
seconds, picking apart his counterpart with precise strikes and
finishing with a rear-naked choke.

Bella
Mir is taking her first professional mixed martial arts loss
well.

Mir, the daughter of former
Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder Frank Mir, was
one of the most highly touted prospects going into her
Dana White's Contender Series clash against Alex
Apodaca. She was a -6000 favorite, the biggest in DWCS history,
ahead of the fight.

However, Apodaca edged out a hard-fought unanimous decision over
Mir in the biggest upset in DWCS history. The latter has now taken
to social media to address her defeat.

professional MMA defeat

Mir (4-1) has since issued her first statement in the aftermath of
her first professional MMA loss. She says that this is not the
first time she has handled a defeat, albeit this was under the
biggest spotlight. Mir vows to bounce back stronger, as she has
from all of her previous setbacks.

“I've lost so many times,†Mir wrote on Instagram. “Big or small,
each loss carries me into a different mindset and learning
experience to be a better athlete. I have overcome every single
obstacle into my life and I will overcome this one. Now it's just a
bit different that this loss is more famous than my other ones.
Thank you so much to everyone sending me love and encouragement.
And I promise to all of you that it takes way more than hate and 1
single loss in my MMA career to break me. I want to thank my team,
my family, my fans and Dana for getting me here and further. I also
want to thank Alex for taking this fight; all respect to her. Every
time I lose, I come back and win something bigger and better. No
loss has ever defined me, and neither will this one. And how cool
is it to do what I love on such a big platform. Literally living my
dream!! Next Best Thing.â€

Mir won a Division I National championship in wrestling at North
Central College last year, along with two wins at UFC BJJ. Ahead of
her DWCS loss, Mir had said that she wanted to be champion across
multiple sports, eyeing UFC and Zuffa Boxing titles as well.

Jose
Delgado believes Jean Silva
is hiding his real personality.

Delgado (12-2) and Silva (17-3) will headline the
Ultimate Fighting Championship's fourth edition of Noche UFC on
Sept. 12 at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. Silva was
originally scheduled to fight Yair
Rodriguez, who pulled out due to an injury. Following
Rodriguez's withdrawal, Delgado stepped up and recently slammed his
upcoming opponent, calling his persona inauthentic.

Jose Delgado attacks Jean Silva's persona ahead of Noche UFC
4

Delgado is high in confidence going into
Noche UFC 4. He recently claimed that beating Silva puts him in
title contention, setting him up for the winner of
UFC 333's featherweight championship main event between current
champ Alexander
Volkanovski and unbeaten challenger Movsar
Evloev.

“I expect violence. I expect to break this guy,†Delgado told Ariel
Helwani. “I expect a freaking stunner of a KO… If Jean Silva took
out Yair Rodriguez, he'd be fighting for the title after Volk and
Movsar fight. Why wouldn't I steal that spotlight? Why wouldn't I
steal that opportunity?â€

Silva has a quirky personality, as he often barks like a dog.
Delgado believes the Brazilian is a coward who is hiding behind the
mask of a loud persona. He plans to let “Lord†bark all he wants
before he gets put down.

“It is an illusion for him, man… He's a coward,†Delgado added. “He
needs that mask to make himself feel good. It's a disguise, and
it's a farce. I don't respect it. I think it's cowardly. I will put
him down like a dog. [Before] you just let the dog bark.â€

Delgado is 4-1 in the UFC and coming off wins over Andre Fili
and Austin
Bashi. Meanwhile, Silva is 6-1 in the UFC with five knockouts
and his only loss coming against two-time title challenger Diego
Lopes.
