There have been some major developments in the world of MMA as we approach UFC 295. However, the paucity of time and strenuous schedule in the daily lives of 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 yet another edition of the daily roundup. Catch the biggest headlines from the last 24 hours in just a few minutes.

We will start off with Jon Jones, who was forced to pull out of UFC 295. Then we will shift our focus to Conor McGregor, who made a comment about free agent Michael ‘Venom’ Page. Finally, we will sum up our news compilation with the UFC signing a new deal with Bud Light.

Jon Jones is out of the UFC 295 fight

‘Bones’ made a triumphant return to the Octagon at UFC 285, defeating Ciryl Gane in a dominating fashion. He captured the UFC heavyweight title in his first-ever match in the division. He was supposed to defend that title next month against Stipe Miocic at UFC 295. However, that fight had to be scrapped due to an untimely injury Jones sustained during training.

As per the announcement from the UFC CEO, Jon Jones tore a tendon that connects the pectoral muscle to the bone. He suffered that while he was in wrestling practice. He will undergo surgery for the same and will be out for at least eight months. As a result, Dana White set up another fight for UFC 295.

Dana White announced that the co-main event between Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka for the lightweight title will now be the main event. Additionally, the co-main event will have Sergei Pavlovich go one-on-one against Tom Aspinall for the interim heavyweight championship. We will have to wait and see how that fight pans out.

Conor McGregor shares posts about Michael ‘Venom’ Page

Michael Page, popularly known as Michael ‘Venom’ Page or ‘MVP’, is now a free agent. He fought under the Bellator banner for ten years but, a few months ago, he announced that he was parting ways with the Scott Coker‘s promotion. Now, people are wondering what’s next for the MMA star as Conor McGregor shared a post about ‘MVP’ on social media.

Not too long ago, Dana White mentioned that the UFC was interested in securing the services of Michael ‘Venom’ Page. He is an exciting fighter who puts on a show for the fans. Now, Conor McGregor shared a story on Instagram, expressing his desire to see Page in the UFC. He wrote, “[UFC] next for Venom.” However, there is still no word as to what lies in the future of the former Bellator fighter.

UFC signed a new sponsorship deal with Bud Light

For a while now, the UFC has been in a partnership with Modelo as their official beer. However, Bud Light is back in partnership with Dana White’s promotion with the biggest sponsorship deal ever. A report by ESPN claims that the UFC has signed a multi-year deal with Bud Light, which will begin on January 1, 2024.

In pure coincidence, that is also the date when the UFC’s partnership with USADA will come to an end. Instead, the promotion will partner with Drug Free Sport International. Dana White also released a statement about this. He said, “Anheuser-Busch and Bud Light were the UFC’s original beer sponsors more than fifteen years ago. I’m proud to announce that we’re back in business together.” It seems like the UFC is going through many changes as we approach 2024.
