UFC News round up: McGregor applauds Raul Rosas Jr ahead of UFC 282
Conor McGregor, a UFC legend, recently praised Raul Rosas Jr., the promotion’s youngest competitor, on Twitter. He noted: “That’s amazing! most youthful ever. Good luck with your career, young man.” At UFC 282, the 18-year-old bantamweight will face Jay Perrin in the main prelim to make his promotional debut.
“He would do better as Santa Claus than a fighter“, said Perrin (10-6 MMA, 0-2 UFC), mocking his opponent’s objectives.
“After this battle, that dream may finally come true. He may realize his ambition of becoming Santa Claus. He is welcome to don the Santa Claus costume, stand outside the mall, and pose for photos with some young people. He can buy me a present and deliver it to my house if he wants to.”
That’s incredible! The youngest ever. Good luck young man, in your career with the @ufc. https://t.co/11obs8F9t8

UFC News round up: Khabib says ‘not much time to wait’
Not much time to wait, wrote Khabib Nurmagomedov in the caption of a recent Instagram photo. It appears he had the upcoming UFC 284 in February 2023 in mind. Islam Makhachev, a teammate of Khabib, will face off against Alexander Volkanovski in UFC 284.
Perth, Australia—the country of Volkanovski’s birth—will host UFC 284. Since March 2021, the UFC has not scheduled a match between two reigning champions, not including interim titles.
In a bout that might determine the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world, UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski will formally up weight to take on lightweight champion Islam Makhachev for a second title at UFC 284 on Feb. 11.

Dana White trolled by Rob Holding
The “beautiful game of football” has recently been under heavy fire from White, who claims he can no longer stand it. As a result, given his prominence, if he said something like that, it would surely raise a stir. As a result, it did, and several influential people reacted angrily.
Several football players, like Rob Holding of Arsenal, have voiced their opinions about Dana White’s assertion that football is the “least skilled” sport globally.
Holding replied to White on Instagram with the following well-written and insightful statement: “Least talented sport. You consider how long players in other ball-related sports have or are in contact with the ball. Similar to how a quarterback and a basketball player manage the type of spin and speed they utilize while passing or shooting, a pitcher in baseball grips the ball in their hand while throwing. Football players only have a fraction of a second to contact the ball with their foot to direct it in a specific direction.
