Are you curious about the events of the last day in the world of mixed martial arts?
Fear not, though, for we are back with another roundup of MMA news that will only take a few minutes to read.
First, some noteworthy news regarding Islam Makhachev. It appears that the lightweight champion has added yet another jewel to his already impressive resume.

After that, we’ll turn our attention to Conor McGregor, the former dual weight champion, who looks to have defeated Dustin Poirier in his most recent bout.
Finally, we’ll wrap up with Sean Strickland, who seems to have attacked Dana White once more about fighters’ payment troubles. Now, without further ado, let’s begin.
This weekend, Islam Makhachev will defend his title against Dustin Poirier.
But the lightweight champion appears to have added another feather to his cap even before this match. You ask, What is it?
Jeff Novitzky, the senior vice president of anti-doping compliance for the UFC, has expressed gratitude for Islam Makhachev’s spotless record.
Prior to handing up the jacket to Islam Makhachev, Novitzky made it clear that Makhachev was not at fault on the one occasion in 2016 that he was found guilty of consuming a prohibited substance—it was USADA’s fault.
It seems that Dustin Poirier was roasted by Conor McGregor for his new shorts, while Makhachev received the jacket from the UFC.
Because of his new shorts, Conor McGregor hits Dustin Poirier. Dustin Poirier is set to face Islam Makhachev in an attempt to win the lightweight gold medal for the third time.
The Central Bank harshly criticized brokers for their “poor practices.”
But Poirier would be wearing a different kind of short this time. Like Max Holloway at UFC 300, the former interim lightweight belt holder will be sporting floral shorts for his fight.
“I’ve got to get floral if Brendan gets purple shorts,” Poirier declared during a press conference. Priorities first… Conor McGregor doesn’t seem to be happy about his choice to wear the flowery shorts.
On social media, the former dual-weight champion made fun of the lightweight challenger by writing, “Perfect for a bloodied-up p**sy.”
Why, though, was McGregor furious? Perhaps as a result of the promotion taking Poirier’s call before him.

The “Notorious” is furious that the promotion is not giving in to his requests, as McGregor wants to fight Michael Chandler in shorts made of US dollars, but the organization has not yet responded to this request.
You might wonder, why? The most recent fighter to appear to have spoken out about the problem of fighters’ compensation is Sean Strickland.
Dana White is criticized by Sean Strickland for her fighter’s compensation.
Whenever Dana White travels, there’s one problem that seems to follow her: food insecurity.
The MMA community has frequently hammered the UFC supremo about the lower compensation.
Even after facing antitrust regulations, it appears that the UFC chief executive is not planning to take any action to address the situation. The most recent fighter to criticize Dana White for the same thing is Sean Strickland.
The UFC doesn’t do the right things, Strickland claimed in a talk with Daniel Cormier.
With the majority of their rosters, it doesn’t act appropriately. The UFC does not act honorably, and unless you threaten them with death, they won’t act honorably.
The individuals in charge of the organization are making f**king trash when it comes to the money that athletes receive.
