After getting bruised and battered by Jake Gyllenhaal‘s ‘Elwood Dalton‘, Conor McGregor woke up in a hospital, It did not take much time for his ‘Knox’ character to wreak havoc inside the medical facility as he walked out of there wearing a hospital gown, exposing the rear side of his body for the audience to see. This was the second instance of nudity in the film from the Irishman after his cheeky entrance scene.

Colby Covington eyeing a return during International Fight Week

Former interim welterweight champion Colby Covington had a rather underwhelming outing at UFC 296 when he fought reigning champion Leon Edwards. Since then, there was no word as to what lies ahead for him. However, it seems like the two-time title challenger might be making his return and has his sights on the date for his next fight.

During an appearance on Patrick Bet-David‘s ‘Valuetainment TV‘ podcast, Colby Covington revealed that he was planning his return to the Octagon during UFC’s International Fight Week, at UFC 303. So far, there has been no official word regarding it, but ‘Chaos’ is hoping that Dana White sets him up for a fight in June.

Dana White talks potential heavyweight clash between Tom Aspinall and Jon Jones in the UK

Dana White recently revealed that he has major plans for a UK PPV event in 2024. He appeared in an interview with ‘TNT Sports‘, where he shared his opinion about Jon Jones fighting Tom Aspinall in the latter’s native country of England. Apparently, the UFC CEO was not too sure about that fight since Stipe Miocic was on standby to fight ‘Bones’. White said, “I don’t know. I mean, listen, Jones is set to fight Stipe.”

However, he was not counting out a potential fight between Aspinall and Jones. White mentioned that, according to his current plans, he hoped to see the winner of the Stipe and Jones fight to go on to fight the interim champion to unify the belts. “I hope the winner of that fight will fight Tom [in the near future],” White further stated. When asked whether that fight could take place in England, the UFC CEO appeared to be considering his options. “We’ll see. We’ll see,” the 54-year-old promoter added.
