UFC News Round Up: Conor McGregor begins mocking Michael Chandler
Recently, Michael Chandler spoke with ESPN about his upcoming fight with Conor McGregor. It didn’t take Notorious long to respond to the words, as he published them on his official Twitter account along with a laughing emoji, clearly dismissing the American’s forecast.

Chandler’s “Mystic Mike” interpretation of the ESPN piece, which sparked such a reaction, was featured. In it, he predicted that the Irish boxer would be knocked out in the second round. Of course, he’s making fun of McGregor and his previous “Mystic Mac” prophecies by labeling it a “Mystic Mike” prediction.
Canelo Alvarez gives a massive update on Nate Diaz’s fight
Canelo Alvarez has not ruled out a boxing matchup with former UFC champion Nate Diaz. After choking out Tony Ferguson in his final match in September, the former UFC fighter, who had a very successful career, left the organization. The native of Stockton is currently targeting several lucrative boxing battles. He has been linked to some of the greatest names in the sport, including Alvarez and rising sensation Jake Paul.
Canelo Alvarez responded concisely, telling Inside Fighting: “Although we’ll never know, Nate Diaz isn’t currently on my radar. Not right now; I have goals. Perhaps in the future, but not at this time.” After needing hand surgery after defeating Gennady Golovkin in a trilogy, Alvarez is currently sidelined.

UFC News round up: Indian fighter Anshul Jubli plans to become UFC champion
Anshul Jubli, an Indian, has come a long way thus far. From having his opening fight in the 2022 season of “Road to UFC” called off to ultimately taking home a convincing victory in the championship round. The DM, which the fighter has now admitted to using, was a little demonstration of his willpower that eventually assisted him in reaching the sport’s premier level.
Indian fans now have even more to be excited about after Dana White’s speech was made public, as he also contained some excellent information for the year 2026.
