In this era of strict time constraints, many MMA fans frequently miss out on numerous eye-catching MMA-related incidents. Hence, we are here with another edition of our MMA News Roundup in an effort to bridge the gap between these admirers and the sport. It will keep you informed about some of the most significant MMA-related events from the last 24 hours.

Today, after beginning with the results of the coveted main event of UFC Jacksonville, we’ll also know about one of Nate Diaz’s teammates offering to help Twitter CEO Elon Musk in his bout against Mark Zuckerberg. Finally, we’ll also take a look at Conor McGregor’s latest words for his friend-turned-foe, Artem Lobov, to conclude this edition.

Ilia Topuria gained a dominant victory over Josh Emmett at UFC Jacksonville

Most UFC fans would agree that UFC Jacksonville provided them with probably everything they had asked for. The enthralling main event between the famed UFC Featherweights, Ilia Topuria, and Josh Emmett also proved to be a showstopper. Both men showcased some superb striking skills as the fight went to its full length. However, Topuria’s prowess was enough for the judges to award the bout to him via unanimous decision.

The fight primarily stayed on the feet, as both Topuria and Emmett went for strikes instead of taking the fight to the ground. Topuria landed a series of left jabs throughout the fight, causing some significant damage. Although Emmett also had his moments in the bout, they didn’t prove enough for him to fetch a victory.

Nate Diaz’s teammate offers his help to Elon Musk

Looking at the current situation, it won’t be wrong to say that most UFC athletes have chosen the side of the Twitter CEO for his possible “cage fight” against the Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. Recently Nate Diaz’s teammate, Jake Shields, also continued this trend as he expressed his support for the ’51-year-old’.

Shields took to Musk’s platform, Twitter, to publicize his backing for him. His tweet read, “Hey @elonmusk if you are really gonna fight Zuck you need to get training ASAP I’m willing to help you train and also show you how to build a team of top coaches and how to structure training”.

Shields also took a dig at Musk’s opponent ‘Zuck’ stating, “We need this win because you are the people’s champ and represent free speech while Zuck represents censorship and globalization.”

Do you think Musk will pick Shields out of all the offers he has received? How do you see this bout ending if it actually happens?

Conor McGregor took another recent dig at his friend-turned-enemy Artem Lobov

The often nonchalant UFC icon Conor McGregor recently showcased one more act of his outspoken nature. Although McGregor and the noted former UFC fighter, Artem Lobov started off as friends, future events turned them into enemies. Lobov even filed lawsuits against the Irishman. Even though it has been months since then, ‘Mystic Mac’ probably still carries his resentment and hatred for Lobov.

Recently, McGregor took to his Twitter and fired a shot at Lobov, blaming him for ditching his war-torn home country of Russia and living in Ireland. McGregor’;s tweet read, “Civil war in Russia and Artem Lobov still in Ireland on benefits.”

Looking at Lobov’s affinity towards filing lawsuits, some fans might predict that this action from McGregor will lead him to one more lawsuit. What do you think? How would Lobov react to this tweet by ‘The Notorious’?
