There have been a lot more developments in the world of MMA in the last 24 hours. However, the paucity of time and daily strenuous schedule of the fans often make them miss out on some of the most significant events in our favorite sport. But there is nothing to worry about as we bring to you another edition of the daily roundup.

First of all, we will start with Conor McGregor, who recently went back and forth against Canelo Alvarez on social media. Then we will shift our focus to Khamzat Chimaev and Kamaru Usman, who came face-to-face in a recent interview. Finally, we will sum up our daily news compilation with updates regarding Dana White and Joe Rogan‘s attendance at UFC 294.

Conor McGregor engages in a war of words with Canelo Alvarez

‘The Notorious’ recently came across a video of Canelo Alvarez’s boxing match against Floyd Mayweather on Twitter (X). Conor McGregor claimed that he landed more shots on ‘Money’ than the Mexican boxer and that he’d love another chance to fight the 50-0 legend again. However, Alvarez did not take those words from the Irishman kindly. He also took shots at the former UFC double champion.

Canelo Alvarez responded to McGregor by claiming that he would need just one hand to fight him. Furthermore, he even stated that he would finish off ‘The Notorious’ with much fewer punches than he threw at Floyd Mayweather. This seemingly enraged Conor McGregor, as he sent a warning to the Mexican star.

Days Before Kamaru Usman Fight at UFC 294, Khamzat Chimaev Links Up With Knockout Artist Even Joe Rogan Is Terrified Of

Conor McGregor, calling Alvarez an “uncooked chicken,” warned that he will destroy his knee with kicks. At this point, the Irishman was no longer thinking about boxing. McGregor straight-up wanted an MMA-style fight against the undisputed super middleweight champion. We will have to wait and see how this heated exchange takes shape in the future.

Khamzat Chimaev and Kamaru Usman warn each other ahead of UFC 294

‘Borz’ and ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ recently came face-to-face against each other in an online interview with MMA legend Chael Sonnen. Khamzat Chimaev appeared to have a much more humble demeanor than he used to. He refrained from sharing a prediction for the fight. However, he did send a warning to Kamaru Usman as they gear up to battle at Abu Dhabi this weekend.

“Just come here. [I] smash the guy, man… people already say he did not have a camp, this and that. For me, it doesn’t matter. I come finish everyone,” said Khamzat Chimaev. Similarly, Kamaru Usman also gave his thoughts about the fight. He said, “Just like he’s [Chimaev] planning to step in there and get his hands raised, so am I. He’s prepared, so am I.” It remains to be seen who comes out on top at UFC 294.

Update on the probability of Dana White and Joe Rogan’s presence in Abu Dhabi this weekend

UFC 294 is shaping up to be an amazing event with some of the best fighters on the card. However, long-time commentator Joe Rogan will not be there in the commentary team this weekend. Besides, the 56-year-old had already stated previously that he does not plan on being a part of an international UFC event. Instead, ‘MMA Junkie’ reported that Paul Felder will replace Rogan and will call the fights alongside Daniel Cormier and Jon Anik.

Meanwhile, Dana White will be present to witness the fights in Abu Dhabi. Incidentally, the UFC CEO owns a PBR bull, who’ll be in action on the 21st of October, which is the same day as UFC 294. However, White has assured he will be there for the Islam Makhachev vs Alexander Volkanovski headliner and hopes that his bull does well.
