We’re done with another fight week and as the dust settles, a new 205lbs champion has risen in the form of Magomed Ankalaev after UFC 313. Besides that, several developments have taken shape in the MMA community over the last 24 hours, and hence, we present yet another daily roundup edition to keep you in the loop about the most noteworthy headlines in our favorite sport. To start this one off, we’ll be talking about the bonuses Dana White presented at the latest Las Vegas PPV.

Thereafter, we’ll turn our attention to Alex Pereira, who seems to have garnered support from a fellow UFC star in the aftermath of his UFC 313 loss. Finally, we’ll sum this roundup edition up with the head honcho giving an update on his boxing venture.

Four fighters win bonuses at UFC 313

While it was a bad day at the office for Alex Pereira, a fellow Brazilian fighter, Mauricio Ruffy, won big at UFC 313. ‘One Shot’ really lived up to his moniker against King Green as he took home a ‘Performance of the Night’ bonus for his amazing spinning wheel kick knockout victory. Thereafter, another up-and-comer in the form of Ignacio Bahamondes earned 50G’s after his slick triangular choke submission win against Jalin Turner, who seems to be retiring from the sport.

Meanwhile, #3 ranked 155fer Justin Gaethje continued his ungodly bonus tally with 14 bonuses across 14 UFC outings. ‘The Highlight’ was back in the winning column and now eyes a lightweight title shot against Islam Makhachev. Meanwhile, the night wasn’t too shabby for his opponent Rafael Fiziev, who shared the ‘Fight of the Night’ bonuses for the thrilling co-main event clash with the former BMF title holder. It remains to be seen if these fighters can continue their bonus-earning performances. Now, let us move over to the next big story of this roundup edition.

Did Alex Pereira get robbed? UFC bantamweight fighter believes so

Most people were expecting a tough challenge for Alex Pereira when he butted heads with Magomed Ankalaev, but not many envisioned him losing the belt. The Brazilian was outfought by the Dagestan native, who ended up winning the contest via unanimous decision. Nevertheless, the former champion showcased great takedown defense as he canceled all of Ankalaev’s 11 takedown attempts, thus showcasing his improved grappling arsenal. It is safe to say that the former champion has more than just striking at his disposal.

However, after looking at the decision (48-47, 48-47, and 49-46 in favor of Ankalaev) given by the judges, Marlon Vera felt that the Brazilian should have emerged victorious. “I think Chama took it,” wrote ‘Chito’ on X. Moreover, the same sentiment was shared by former UFC heavyweight contender Brendan Schaub and former UFC title challenger Kenny Florian, both of whom gave the bout to ‘Poatan’.

Meanwhile, Pereira isn’t worried about the loss and is more concerned about getting his title back. Hence, he issued a statement following his fight, claiming that he’s going to make “adjustments” because he’s looking forward to fighting Magomed Ankalaev again. Now, let’s end this roundup edition with the final story of the day.

Dana White provides an update on his boxing endeavor

TKO’s grip on combat sports seems to be on the rise as Dana White and Co. joined hands with HE and boxing kingpin Turki Alalshikh to announce the formation of a new boxing league. It is safe to say that this is a pretty big development and the news also appeared during WWE’s recent SmackDown episode. The UFC CEO recently addressed the situation to the media during the UFC 313 post-fight presser, claiming that he’s already set up an office for his boxing venture and will be having a meeting regarding the same.

“I got some sh-t to do. I got to get to work and figure out not just the infrastructure. We’ll work out on Wednesday who we’re going to hire or bring in, start building a team,” Dana White stated. “I already got the office space there. Time to start filling it.”

Well, it’s great news for boxing fans because if there’s one thing that Dana White does well, it’s promoting fights. But do you think he’ll have the same kind of success in boxing as he has with the UFC? Moreover, when can we see the second coming of Pereira and Ankalaev 2? Let us know in the comments down below.
