In the octagon, Tai Tuivasa has frequently been the hammer. But with a swift knockout defeat at UFC Orlando, he received a second dose of being the nail. Just 54 seconds into their heavyweight match on Saturday at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida, Tuivasa was dropped by Sergei Pavlovich. The Australian was struggling to recover after getting busted during the opening encounter when his opponent ended the game with four well-placed blows. Tuivasa had a five-fight winning streak until suffering consecutive losses to Pavlovich and Ciryl Gane within the previous three months, which brought him back to earth. Nevertheless, he appears unfazed after suffering a terrible first-round knockout loss to Sergei Pavlovich on Saturday night at UFC Orlando. 'Bam Bam' acknowledged his rivals in his very first comments following the defeat while also promising to evolve. "Bam Bam" expressed regret to his fans who had been denied the traditional "shoey" that usually accompanies the Australian fighter's fights. On Instagram, the 29-year-old wrote: "Fuck. Got done tonight 😔 Big love to my team fankyou for all y’all do ❤️ Congrats to @sergei__pavlovich got me first rocked me hard couldn’t recover. 👏🏽Time to come home see my family be back in the Area and regather 😌🥰 Last but not least. ORRRLAAAANDOOO Wooow what a crowd y’all really turned up tonight 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I didn’t get to put on a show and a shoey tonight my bad I will be back. 💯🙏🏽🙏🏽 All my fans. Sick cunts love yahs ayyy 😘😘" Pavlovich entered the bout as the No. 5 ranked heavyweight contender. He intended to seize Tuivasa's No. 4 ranking as he begins to nip on the list of those in contention for the championship. Pavlovich scored his fifth consecutive first-round knockout in the UFC and has been flawless since losing to Alistair Overeem in his 2018 promotional debut. After his all-out battle with Gane, many in the UFC world felt that "Bam Bam" had reappeared in the cage too early. While a lot of the UFC community seems to believe and were astounded by how quickly he eliminated Tuivasa.

Kevin Holland will require surgery to fix the injury to his broken hand caused by Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson at UFC Orlando. In the main event welterweight bout on Saturday at the Amway Centre in Orlando, Florida, Stephen Thompson defeated Holland via fourth-round TKO by corner stoppage. As the rounds went on, he seldom used his right hand, and it was clear that something was amiss because he had been considered quite careless in trading during the first set. Holland's hand fracture was critical in terms of its magnitude. The 30-year-old welterweight suffered injuries to his right hand's third, fourth, and fifth metacarpal bones after connecting with Thompson shortly in the first round, according to Holland's manager Oren Hodak from KO Reps. On Sunday, Holland uploaded a picture of his extremely swelled hand. To plan out the procedure, Holland is anticipated to consult with an orthopedic hand specialist on Monday. When he will be able to resume his combat duties is not known with any certainty. Early in the first round, Holland struck Thompson with a right hand in what turned out to be the fight's best blow. Thompson was caught out instantly as the punch landed, and Holland tried to take advantage of the opportunity, but Thompson was capable of rising and carrying on with the fight. The damage prohibited Holland from truly executing the punch after the first round ended, and he could be seen yanking his hand for the rest of the fight. By the end of the fourth round, Holland was still struggling with the injury and enduring a significant punishment from Thompson's persistent attacks, so his trainers decided to call off the fight. Holland's setback to Thompson moved him to 0-3 in UFC main event bouts, and his submission defeat to Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 279 in September made it back-to-back losses for him.

The hundreds of Filipino fans gathered inside the Mall of Asia Arena were undoubtedly excited as ONE on Prime Video 5 completely lived up to the expectations that it had generated. Anatoly Malykhin def. Reinier de Ridder Anatoly Malykhin, the interim heavyweight world champion, made headlines by defeating Reinier de Ridder in the opening round to win the light heavyweight title in Friday's main event. With the addition of the 225-pound world title to his interim heavyweight world championship, Malykhin entered the elite group of two-division world champions. The Russian super-fighter bludgeoned De Ridder with some of the hardest blows the Dutch fighter had ever taken, personifying strength. Infamous ground-and-pounder "Sladkiy" appeared relentless as he submitted De Ridder at 4:35 into the opening round. The referee had to call a halt to the fight. Malykhin became a double world champion after the victory, and ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong also gave him a double bonus for $100,000. Kade Ruotolo def. Matheus Gabriel Kade Ruotolo defeated Matheus Gabriel by unanimous decision in the co-main event to keep his lightweight submission grappling world title. From the beginning, Ruotolo was unstoppable, striking with a variety of submissions and displaying excellent defensive ability. In pursuit of his submission tries, the American grappling superstar was unrelenting in his offensive and once more demonstrated an astounding degree of agility. Gabriel, unexpectedly, was able to flee from a tight kneebar after Ruotolo even pulled off a flawless flip. Ruotolo ended up winning for the third time in a row in the promotion, so it was his moment in the end. Roberto Soldic vs. Murad Ramazanov declared a no-contest An unintentional groin hit in the first round of the welterweight bout between Murad Ramazanov and Roberto Soldic resulted in an unexpected no-contest. Ramazanov had Soldic cornered against the fence when he mistakenly struck the Croatian star in the groin with one of his blows. Soldic was incapable of carrying the battle even after using up all of the required stoppage time, and it was finally ruled a no-contest. Jackie Buntan def. Amber Kitchen In their 130-pound catchweight Muay Thai match, Jackie Buntan defeated strong competitor Amber Kitchen by majority decision to earn a crucial victory. The first round was spent by the two competitors getting to know one another. However, in the second, the situation changed dramatically as Kitchen used her length to maintain her distance from Buntan. Buntan closed the distance while being encouraged by the Filipino audience, using her boxing to score some points. In the third, Buntan stepped up her attack, hammering Kitchen with many combos and pushing the British star to retreat. As soon as Buntan understood Kitchen was in jeopardy, she continued to use her combinations to knock out her opponent one minute into the third round. Lowen Tyanes def. Dae Sung Park Lowen Tynanes earned a significant triumph when he defeated South Korean Dae Sung Park in their lightweight match through a split decision. The Hawaiian superstar made a spectacular comeback to the ring and utilized his grappling to keep Park under control for the whole three-round contest. Tynanes earned his eighth victory in the promotion and his 11th success overall.

James Krause and Darrick Minner are being kept as far away from the UFC as possible. Hunter Campbell, the promotion's chief business officer, informed the competitors via email on Friday that Krause's Nevada license had been barred as of November 18 and that any competitors connected to him would not be permitted to compete at UFC events until the conclusion of "government investigations." James Krause, an MMA coach, correctly predicted eight out of eight outcomes for UFC Vegas 65 on November 19 according to a recently released screenshot from the Discord server which is run by Krause himself where he provides his opinions to his followers for placing bets. Krause is now being looked into after unusual betting patterns were discovered during the November 5 UFC Fight Night: Rodriguez vs. Lemos match between Darrick Minner and Shayilan Nuerdanbieke. After throwing a body kick and setting his leg back down to the ground, Minner, who practiced with James Krause at his Glory MMA club, looking to damage his knee. He was TKO'd in the opening round as a result of the injury. The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) is currently looking into reports of abnormal betting activities made by several sports betting providers after the event. While Krause is still being investigated, Minner has since been let go by the UFC, and anyone currently training at his gym or working for the 36-year-old former fighter is no longer permitted to participate in UFC fights. In Lee's Summit, Missouri, Krause oversees Glory MMA and Fitness. Numerous athletes, including Brandon Moreno, the interim flyweight champion of the UFC, Grant Dawson, Tim Elliott, Anthony Smith, Laura Sanko, Megan Anderson, Jeff Molina, and others, have trained under the 36-year-old former UFC fighter and coach. While a strong showing in MMA betting is not uncommon, Krause's predictions, which are said to be from November 19, were made after the UFC published its new code of ethics for betting. All fighters received a message from the UFC in October prohibiting them and their teams from placing bets on any future UFC matches.

Bill Haney believes an announcement on his son, undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney (29-0, 14 KOs), and #1 WBC Vasyl Lomachenko will be made soon. Bill points out that he will not be making the announcement for the Haney vs. Lomachenko fight because that will be left to the promoters. Lomachenko is the man Team Haney has been looking for for a long time, and they're finally getting the fight after a long wait. It's a good thing Haney is getting the fight with Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs), the 34-year-old former three-division world champion, because he's virtually outgrown the 135-pound class. If the Lomachenko bout does not take place soon, Loma will have wasted his chance, unless he is interested in fighting Haney at 140 pounds. Lomachenko is already tiny for his weight class. The last thing he needs is to move up to light welterweight in order to face Haney. Meanwhile, Bill has been tauntingTeofimo Lopez Sr by releasing videos of himself attempting to locate him in order to discuss putting on a fight with Teo and Devin. Teofimo Jr. has a fight against Sandor Martin on ESPN+ on December 10th, and he might lose to that guy. If Teofimo is defeated by Sandor, he may as well quit, as Mikey Garcia did after losing to the Spaniard. When asked about the tentative date he told the media “I think we could have an announcement soon,” said Bill Haney to Fighthype about the Devin Haney vs. Vasyl Lomachenko fight. “If I did know the date, I wouldn’t say nothing because that’s not my job to announce it. My job is to try and deliver it,” said Bill. Who do you think wins in a bout between Devin Haney and Vasyl Lomachenko?

On Saturday night, Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora will square off in the ring at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Their penultimate act before the battle was to weigh in in front of a gathering of supporters on Friday at the Business Design Centre in Islington. Chisora took his time to process slowly in and held his arms wide as he weighed in, taking in the moment. "I'm buzzing, I'm excited," he said afterward "What I'm saying is, don't miss this." Fury came in with a smile and his own arrangement of "Sweet Caroline" for a charity single. As he weighed in, Fury's size advantage was obvious. Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion, towered over Chisora at 6ft 9ins tall. He will be the heavier guy in Saturday's world title bout. Chisora weighed 260lbs 10oz, whereas Fury weighed 268lbs 10oz. When Fury came face to face with Chisora, his smile vanished. Fury scowled at his adversary. Chisora's face was obscured by a Union flag mask and sunglasses tucked tightly under his hat. Neither of them wanted to break the stare. Even when an official held a piece of paper between their faces, they didn't move apart. This would be the third time both the brits squared off against each other. The last two bouts between them ended in favor of Gypsy King. Can Chisora cause an upset this time? Let us know in the comments!

Aljamain Sterling claims that his next opponent is decided. The former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo will be the next challenger for the UFC bantamweight champion, who announced this on Thursday. There is no signed agreement, no event, and no date yet, according to Sterling, but it has been decided that Cejudo will be the next opponent. The heated faceoff occurred this past Friday in New York during the 2022 PFL Championship game, and both Sterling and Cejudo were present. “I’m announcing that I am going to fight Henry next,” Sterling said. “We are targeting March. I will say Ali, brother, it’s done but it’s still not done until there’s ink on the paper but it’s done. But it’s still kind of not done but this is the fight that’s going to happen next. “This fight is going to happen. Obviously, you guys saw the face off with myself and Henry Cejudo. I have no problem fighting Henry. Never ducked anybody a day in my life. The UFC gives me the toughest competition and I always step up to the plate and I always win, except for that one time when I got sent to Neptune against Marlon Moraes. For the most part, I typically win.” The video was prepared in reaction to recent words uttered by Ali Abdelaziz, promoter of Cejudo, to The Underground, in which he claimed that the championship match between Sterling and Cejudo was "done." Sterling had previously stated, just two weeks before to UFC 281, that he was uninterested in fighting Cejudo. Additionally, the champion addressed the conflicting remarks, claiming that has since changed. “Word, but I think now that it’s “real,” I’m getting up for it now,” Sterling wrote on Twitter. The last time Sterling fought was in October, when he won the co-main event of UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi and attempted to defend his UFC bantamweight title against former champion T.J. Dillashaw. The 33-year-old has won eight straight fights, and his most recent loss came in the latter part of 2017. Sterling declared Sean O'Malley to be the more worthy candidate following his victory against former champion Petr Yan on the same card at UFC 280. But it appears that the UFC chooses to give Cejudo the opportunity Cejudo hasn't competed in more over two years. He will be making his comeback from retirement, which followed his relinquishing of the bantamweight and flyweight belts in 2020 after a brief reign as a two-division champion. Cejudo, who is now 35, has gone six games without losing. In his last outing Cejudo defended his title against one of the best bantamweights, Dominick Cruz back in May 2020. “I like the matchup,” Sterling said. “I think it’s going to be a fun fight for the fans. I think, on paper, it will be more competitive, even though I think skill wise I think [Sean] O’Malley possesses more of a threat of fight ending KO, if that makes sense. Henry can win the fight but I don’t think he wins by finish. I just can’t see myself losing to Henry by finish.

There are many reasons for Olivier Aubin-Mercier to be joyful right now. The 33-year-old Canadian is the PFL's 2022 lightweight champion and $1 million wealthier after knocking out Stevie Ray in the event's final match this past Friday, despite having recently questioned whether his fighting career might be ended. It's a long way from when Aubin-Mercier was upset about being unable to participate amid the covid-19 outbreak and was forced to provide training sessions in his hometown to make ends meet. “There was a point I didn’t know what would happen [with my career],” Aubin-Mercier said on The MMA Hour. “I mean when COVID happened, they really, truly closed everything here in Quebec and I was like god****, is it the end for my career? Is it the end for me? I thought about maybe getting a job because money was slowly going out of my bank account. “I needed to pay some bills and actually at some point last year, I was giving classes in the park. People were able to come train with me. I was giving a little class in the park, everybody was two meters away from everybody, it was really truly crazy. I was asking like $20 a class. It’s crazy to think I was asking for $20 to train with me for an hour and then right now I just won the million dollars with the crazy knockout. I had some doubts with my career.” The pandemic struck shortly after Aubin-Mercier's UFC career came to an end after more than five years with the organization. His contract expired as a result of a three-fight losing streak, leaving him an unrestricted free agent with no idea of what would happen after that. At that point, the PFL called with an invitation to join the lightweight lineup and a guarantee that success in the season-long competition would result in a million-dollar payout. Aubin-Mercier claims that joining the PFL was the finest decision he could have made for his career now that he has made seven figures in a matter of a few minutes. He anticipates that more fighters will eventually realize that this is a chance they should take advantage of as well. “I truly hope they see what’s happening,” Aubin-Mercier said. “I hope there’s no fighters that are mad about that, that are mad that they make less money in the UFC than I made money in the PFL. Because I think truly the problem is those fighters that decide to go to the UFC instead of the PFL just because of the big name.’’ Aubin-Mercier claims that the PFL considers him like a person rather than simply another name on the roster, which goes beyond the payment he just received, which he claims is more than he made throughout his whole time with the UFC. “When I was in the UFC, I didn’t really feel respected. I felt like a number. That’s it,” Aubin-Mercier said. “With PFL, I don’t feel like a number.’’

After two straight defeats, Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson recognizes that he requires a victory in his ensuing battle with Kevin Holland, but none of that implies he's throwing himself in danger. Although he had been a mainstay in the welterweight standings for most of the previous ten years, the now-39-year-old veteran abruptly began to hear advice that he should think about retiring after his most recent defeat to Belal Muhammad. “I can’t believe people are saying that I’m old and I should retire,” Thompson said on his YouTube channel just days after his loss. “I feel better than I was five years ago. I just don’t get it.” Thompson hasn't evolved at all in the past 11 months, despite having struggled with a collarbone injury that restricted him from playing beforehand. After losing two contests with the welterweight title on the line, Thompson says that he's still aiming for the chance to become a UFC champion. “If I’m fighting, I’m looking for the title,” Thompson said on The Fighter vs. The Writer. “I’m still going for the title. I’m not giving up on it. I feel good. I’m 39, I’ll be 40 in February, and I feel like I’ve still got more in me.” Thompson is aware of the "inmate" mindset common in mixed martial arts, where competitors are often judged only on their most recent performance. With that metric, he has certainly been up against it lately, especially considering that his most recent two rivals used a grappling-heavy tactic to virtually nullify his showcase striking. Thompson understands that Muhammad and Gilbert Burns took advantage of a strategy that has long been viewed as a vulnerability, but that won't persuade him to give up fighting. If anything, Thompson claims that failing in that fashion simply gave him more motivation to try again. “Coming in fairly later in the game and mostly doing striking and playing catch up with my wrestling and jiu-jitsu, it’s kind of like my No. 1 priority, especially after losing to those two guys by wrestling. Not just guys holding me there but guys win that way. I’ve got to be able to nullify those guys and to be able to not let that happen.” Although wrestling and grappling have been a major part of Thompson's concentration over the previous year, he might not be required to put much of what he's mastered when he faces a renowned striker in Holland in his upcoming bout. Holland, a former middleweight who switched to welterweight, has been an entertaining introduction to the 170-pound class. He was on an excellent roll until he decided to accept a catchweight bout with Khamzat Chimaev on a tight deadline, which ultimately resulted in a first-round submission loss. However, that failure didn't seem to hurt Holland's attractiveness all that much because the UFC asked him to headline the upcoming card on December 3 versus Wonderboy only a few weeks later. Despite wanting to show that his wrestling has progressed, Thompson is thrilled to face a challenger who would almost certainly try to stand and exchange with him.

At Bellator 289, Liz Carmouche intends to remove any drama from the storyline because she is extremely upset about how her last encounter with Juliana Velasquez went. In the co-main event of the fight card, Carmouche (4-0 BMMA) will defend her Bellator women's flyweight title against Velasquez (7-1 BMMA) at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. In April, Carmouche defeated Velasquez on the ground in the second round to gain the upper hand and move into a dominant position from which she unleashed a barrage of blows that rendered her rival helpless. When referee Mike Beltran intervened to call it off, Velasquez instantly objected to the interruption that had finished her reign as champion. After the incident, Velasquez sought to fight thrown out, but the board rejected her request. Then, a duel was scheduled, and Carmouche showed up confident that she already owned one decisive victory over the Brazilian. “I still stand by that I feel the right call was made,” Carmouche told MMA Junkie. “I’ve now seen different angles of the fight where I elbow her in the face. She doesn’t bridge, she doesn’t move her arms. She stares up at the sky and zones out. That, to me, is a fighter that’s no longer in her body. You can be what’s called flash knocked out. You can still have your eyes open and be concussed and have no recollection of the fight, have brain damage.” Carmouche initially expressed reluctance to run it back, but over time she warmed to the notion. She believes that Velasquez's response to losing and grumbling about the outcome detracted from what could have been a memorable moment in her career, which has irked Carmouche. “It’s personal,” Carmouche said. “What should’ve been this wonderful moment that I was working toward for so many years, it kind of lost some of its luster because of the claims and because of her demeanor, behavior, and how she carried herself after the fight.” The possibility of a rematch offers Carmouche the chance to put Velasquez, who is perhaps her toughest opponent in the 125-pound class, on the back foot for the conceivable future with a victory. Carmouche claimed that she enters Bellator 289 with that mindset, and her objective is to finish Velasquez off this time. “It’s definitely a lot more motivation,” Carmouche said. “Make sure that there’s not a doubt in her mind or anyone else’s that I put her away in such a fashion that she doesn’t need to open her mouth again.”

Tyson Fury believes a fourth fight with Deontay Wilder will sell well in England, where the unbeaten WBC heavyweight champion is more popular than ever. More than 60,000 tickets have already been sold for Fury's unexpected third fight on Saturday night at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London against British foe Dereck Chisora. Fury-Wilder IV would be more marketable than many other matches in Fury's birthplace due to Wilder's pulverizing power and their strong animosity for one another. Fury, on the other hand, is sick of fighting Wilder and believes he has defeated him three times: once on points, once by technical knockout while Wilder was still standing, and once by savage knockout. Their first fight, a 12-rounder in December 2018, was declared a split draw, which led to a rematch in February 2020, which Fury won by seventh-round technical knockout. Despite this, the 34-year-old Manchester native sees no incentive to fight Wilder a fourth time until the WBC compels him to. The WBC scheduled an elimination battle between Wilder and Andy Ruiz Jr. at its annual meeting in late October. The victor of that 12-round fight, in which Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs), the WBC's top-ranked contender, will face second-ranked Ruiz (35-2, 22 KOs), will become Fury's mandatory challenger. Wilder and Ruiz are set to fight in a pay-per-view main event sometime next spring. Fury hopes Ruiz wins because a mandatory rematch with the former IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO champion would give Fury the chance to face a different opponent. “I would like to see Andy Ruiz knock his motherf------- ass out,” Fury told BoxingScene.com. “Because I’m sick of looking at Deontay Wilder. I need another man to train for. I need another guy to fight. We fought three times already. I think the guy’s a piece of sh!t as a person. I don’t like him. He’s an excuse-maker. He gets beat by a better man on the night, and he can’t take it. So, he’s gotta think of a million reasons why he lost. So, he’s not a great sportsman, in my opinion, and I hope Ruiz knocks him out cold.” A giddy Fury laughed, but agreed that the hard-hitting Wilder is more likely to knock Ruiz out. Fury was amazed by Wilder's early, destructive nature, noting that no opponent had ever done that to Finland's Helenius (31-4, 20 KOs). If Fury defeats Chisora in their third fight, he will be far more interested in meeting unbeaten Ukrainian southpaw Oleksandr Usyk than Wilder a fourth time. And if Wilder beats Ruiz, Fury would prefer to watch his rival battle Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs), interim WBO champ Joe Joyce (15-0, 14 KOs), and finally Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs), who won the IBF, IBO, WBA, and WBO belts from England's Joshua 14 months ago. “Styles make fights and, you know, different fighters have different styles,” Fury said. “We’ll see what happens with all these great matchups. But one thing I know is there are some great matchups to be had in the heavyweight division right now. I’d like to see Usyk and Wilder. I’d like to see Joshua and Wilder. I’d like to see Wilder fight them all. I’d like to see Wilder have a go at these guys. I wanna see if they can do any damage to ‘The Bronze Bomber.’ ” Since then, Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) has knocked out England's Dillian Whyte (29-3, 19 KOs) in the sixth round of his most recent bout, which drew a record attendance of nearly 94,000 to a sold-out Wembley Stadium in London on April 23. The confident Fury, a former IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO champion, is a 20-1 favorite to defeat London's Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs), who has already fallen twice to Fury.

Larissa Pacheco, the new PFL lightweight champion, noticed an unknown presence giving instructions as she was pulling together an effort that eventually resulted in her defeating Kayla Harrison. Ali Abdelaziz, Harrison's manager, stood up during one of the five rounds of the fight, made his way around to the side of the cage where the fight had fallen to the ground, and he started shouting directions. This past Friday's incident was caught on camera, and according to Pacheco, it served as a diversion as she tried to end the fight after locking on a triangle choke halfway through it. It is against the rules for team members or management personnel to shout orders in MMA. The only officials who are permitted to give guidance are the recognized cornermen. “It was a confusing moment for me,” Pacheco explained on The MMA Hour. “It was when I had her in the triangle and I was not hearing my corner’s voice anymore because someone else was yelling. I didn’t know what exactly was happening. “I know that [my manager] Alex [Davis] is always there with me and he’s there to keep these problems from happening. It’s a big organization. I don’t think things like that should happen.” After learning that Abdelaziz was delivering instructions despite not being one of Harrison's authorized instructors that evening, Alex Davis, a competent manager who was also in Pacheco's corner throughout the fight, gave his opinion on the matter. "So, what happened there was the manager came to the neutral side and started giving instructions. There’s two problems with that. One, you’re giving her [Kayla Harrison] instructions. It’s a third corner. Second, Pacheco could not hear her corner because you had someone yelling nearby and he was getting right up near the cage. He walks up blatantly and starts giving instructions from there." Finally, he alerted a commissioner from the New York State Athletic Commission, who went to face Abdelaziz while he was yelling at Harrison in the cage. "Then I got up and told him and said, 'Get back to your corner.' Then he tells me, "Go f**k yourself." I went to get the official, the official went up to him, he brushed the official off, then I went and got the commissioner. All during the fight and I’m in [Pacheco’s] corner." Davis praised the New York athletic commission for responding quickly and putting a halt to Abdelaziz's command shouting from the neutral corner. Davis revealed that Abdelaziz later apologized to the head coach of the Brazilian combatant after the battle ended and Pacheco had won by unanimous decision, but he didn't say anything else to him or his fighter. “He apologized to [her coach]. He did not apologize to me,” Davis said. “He didn’t say anything to [Larissa]. I’ve seen him do it so many times that I just want it to stop.”
