Ever since Jon Jones suffered that shoulder injury during a sparring session ahead of his fight against Stipe Miocic, there have been many who question his claim to the title. A legend in his own right but someone who only fought once as a Heavyweight and won the title after only one fight.

Naturally, other great heavyweights such as Tom Aspinall are complaining about the absurdity of the situation. If he hadn't picked up that injury, he would've had a chance to defend his title but that is not the case the Aspinall considers the division needs to keep moving forward. Jones responded through a series of tweets after the British interim Heavyweight champion demanded for Jones to be stripped of his belt.

Colby Covington lost his chance to become the UFC's undisputed world champion at welterweight and claimed judges who hate his support for former U.S president Donald Trump were behind his loss.

Going into the fight with a 17-4-0 record, Covington is now facing questions about his future in mixed martial arts after he was soundly beaten by Edwards (22-3-0), who successfully defended his belt in a unanimous decision.

The 35-year-old had only taken the fifth round in their stellar UFC 296 fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and awarding Edwards the win seemed like a fair result on the balance of the fight.

Covington clearly feels differently, though, to the extent that he used a unique excuse for his defeat.

Conor McGregor was believed tto be on his way back to the octagon sometime in 2024 but he currently is fighting against the Irish Government. As one of Ireland's most famous entrepeneurs, McGregor has been very vocal against the policies from the current Irish Government and he even entertained the idea of becoming the country's next president.

If that happens, it willbe interesting to see if he decides to continue with his UFC career or not. But these recent activities from McGregor have garnered a response from Irish politicians. From opening an investigaton file on him to publicly going after his likeness. Only former opponents of Conor know that crossing him is not such a great idea, especially for his trash talking.
