Merab Dvalishvili thinks Deiveson Figueiredo deserves next UFC title shot
According to Merab Dvalishvili, it’s not Umar Nurmagomedov who should get the next shot at the UFC title; instead, he believes that Deiveson Figueiredo is more deserving. “Deiveson Figueiredo should fight for the belt,” Dvalishvili stated to MMA Junkie. “He defeated one former champion in this weight class and one title challenger, as well as Rob Font. Given that Figueiredo was a previous champion and has a well-known name, he deserves the opportunity.
Before Merab has even claimed the UFC title, he’s already mapping out his strategy for his initial title defense. This could indicate an extraordinary level of self-assurance or a lack of focus on the impending fight. While Merab is often spot-on in his assessments, I don’t believe Figueiredo should be his first opponent. Instead, I find it more appealing to envision a match between Figueiredo and any other contender, as opposed to two wrestlers.
Mikey Musumeci stripped of flyweight title
Mikey Musumeci couldn’t meet the weight requirements and hydration levels needed for the ONE Flyweight Submission Grappling World Championship at ONE 168: Denver. As a result, a catchweight bout with Bebeto Oliviera, who successfully passed the weight and hydration checks, is now being discussed.

In a change of events, Mikey Musumeci lost his ONE Championship flyweight grappling title due to a last-minute weight mismatch in his fight against Kade Ruotolo. Originally scheduled to compete at 170 pounds, Musumeci requested the match be moved to 135 pounds only five days prior to the bout, leading to the stripping of the title.
It’s astonishing to consider that ONE Championship would ask someone to lose nearly 40 pounds in short notice, let alone take away their title under such circumstances. This situation seems utterly incredible and disorganized.
Conor McGregor hints he’s running for President
As President, I possess the authority to convene the Dáil and also dissolve it. In other words, I would have the means to address the concerns that the people of Ireland have towards those who exploit the working class, disrupt families, and jeopardize small businesses, among other wrongdoings.

Conor McGregor’s recent tweet has sparked speculation that he could be considering a bid for the Irish Presidency.
It’s been speculated that Conor McGregor could enter the realm of Irish politics at some point; however, transitioning directly from a UFC fighter to the President of Ireland seems quite improbable. I find it hard to imagine him securing victory, especially if he decides to officially run for office.
