🍿 Joaquin Buckley’s attempt at "brotherly guidance" finally caught up with Sean Strickland. The gist of the exchange: some Black guys, in all seriousness, explain that they shouldn't be called the "N-word," because it’s a terrible insult and a sign of disrespect. Yet, they use the term constantly among themselves—but, apparently, "that’s different." Strickland’s response: if someone tells me I can’t do something, I’ll do it—just on principle.

Following Dana White’s comments that he wouldn’t be opposed to Justin Gaethje vs. Alexander Volkanovski for the lightweight title, here’s how I see things playing out: Lightweight: Gaethje faces Volk for the title. Both then retire, leaving the belt vacant. Featherweight: Volk vacates the 145-pound title, and Jean Silva faces the winner of Aljamain Sterling vs. Kevin Vallejos for the vacant featherweight belt. Lightweight: Arman Tsarukyan faces the winner of Ilia Topuria vs. Paddy Pimblett for the vacant lightweight title.
