was never in any real danger given that Paul Craig is a wizard off his back nickel decided to keep things standing instead of using his grappling while he was able to pick up a win people like Dana we're left feeling like nickel still has a ways to go as he develops as a fighter in a video for his YouTube channel nickel went off on fans criticizing his performance telling them that unless they want to pull up to at they should just keep quiet I fought the best and smartest fight of my career and nobody's going
to change my mind on that for sure so you know if anybody has a problem with it come over to freaking at and Pleasant Gap and strap up you know if you got a problem with it then you could see what it feels like to get punched in the face yeah so otherwise shut up I felt terrible about my UFC 300 performance and I got a second round finish and the crowd cheered yeah and they were excited about it and I thought that was the worst performance that I had in my career and this one
was the best performance I had heading into the fight niichel was planning to either fight a ranked opponent for his next bout or fight another unranked fighter before taking a step up in competition considering Dana White wasn't all that impressed by his win it sounds like the UFC will probably give him another unranked opponent given that he's only been fighting professionally since 2022 the question of course is who the UFC will book him to fight in the New Year Steven Wonderboy Thompson sends a warning to Ian Gary while Fighters like Alaine Sterling and Israel Danna
have predicted that Ian Gary will get the job done on Saturday night when he collides with sha cot rachmanov Steven Wonderboy Thompson has issued a warning to the Future after getting submitted by The Nomad back in 2023 Wonder Boy knows firsthand just how brutal of a squeeze rock manov has in a video for his YouTube channel he issued a warning to Ian Gary now which guys are stronger I think shop shop cut manov is the stronger of the two when it comes to grappling his squeeze is like no other that I have felt in the
welterweight division the guy's got to squeeze I thought it was going to pop my head off when he squeezed my neck think goodness it didn't go the route that uh Robert Whitaker went through broke his teeth thank you thank you sh of course Gary knows firsthand just how good of a Grappler rock manov is earlier in the week he confirmed that rock manov did submit him while they were training but said that he wasn't putting much stock into a training session from years back even though there seems seems to be some mutual respect between the
two rock manov is ready to go out and get the W in a fight we interview with Daniel Cormier he said that he respects his opponent but that they're not friends I just want to go out there and kick the out of him no friends I respect him but we are not friends I respect him no ill will towards him but it's a sport with fight night just hours away it'll be interesting to see how this one plays out UFC updates ahead of tonight's action in Las Vegas let's take a look at today's UFC fight
updates starting with an update on Randy Brown's fight with Brian battle battle missed weight on Friday which didn't sit well with rude boy who posted on Instagram taking aim at his opponent 19 walks to the UFC Octagon Alone six on the regional scene and I've never missed weight not one time like a true professional Brian knew he wasn't going to make the weight from the day before but still let me suffer through a weight cut these guys bite the bullet on percentage then come in overweight on purpose so they can get a weight advantage on
fight night I'll be no more than 185 tomorrow I would bet he'll be well over 200 tomorrow how is that fair to me shift gears and looking ahead at the New Year the UFC's been hard at work booking fights for the UFC 311 card on January 18th according to Clayton Carpenter he and tagir Ulan beckov are going to be throwing down on the card Ulan beckov will be looking to pick up his third victory in a row while on the flip side Carpenter will be looking to extend his Pro record to 8 and0 after a

picking up wins over Jamal Hill Yuri prasa and Kil rry during the event the champion spoke with MMA junkie about his next fight confirming that magomed an kive is most likely next up for a crack at the title I'm happy to be called out by all these people keep myself my name out there people enjoy my job but at the end of the day what I really want is to continue my work defending my belt seems to be on cive I don't know you know what I mean but like I said before coming down to
my choice I want to make it harder for him because all the lies that he said about me so let's see what's next after beating khil rry P said that in an Ideal World he'd be back in action in December but because of sponsorship obligations he probably wouldn't be back in action until March or April even that Dana White had said before that maged an kive is next up for a crack at the title it sounds like a fight between the two is the most logical option but poan doesn't seem totally sold on the idea
