🔥 Bella Mir does not want one championship. She wants four—and Dana White believes she may actually achieve them.

The twenty-three-year-old, undefeated MMA prospect will face Alex Apodaca on Dana White’s Contender Series on August 25. A victory could bring her closer to the UFC, although White emphasized that winning does not automatically guarantee an immediate contract.

Mir’s ambitions extend far beyond the Octagon. According to White, she wants to capture Olympic wrestling gold, a UFC championship, a Zuffa Boxing title and a UFC BJJ title. 🏆

The plan sounds almost impossible—until you examine her credentials.

Bella Mir holds a perfect 4–0 professional MMA record and became an NCAA Division I wrestling champion at 145 pounds this March. She was also the UFC’s first NIL ambassador while competing in college.

Contender Series will be her next major test. If she continues developing, the UFC may have one of the most extraordinary multi-sport prospects in combat-sports history.

Which achievement would be the hardest: Olympic gold, a UFC championship, boxing gold or a UFC BJJ title? 👀

🥊 Joe Rogan says one of the UFC’s most controversial pay structures needs to change.

Under the traditional show-money and win-bonus system, many fighters receive one guaranteed payment for competing—and another only if they win.

Rogan argues that too much money can depend on factors that are not always entirely under a fighter’s control:

⚖️ A close fight can be decided by the judges.
🛑 A referee can make a controversial stoppage.
🏥 An accidental injury can change everything.

According to Rogan, professional fighters do not need a financial incentive to pursue victory. They already spend months training while covering expenses related to coaches, medical preparation and their fight camps.

His comments do not mean that the UFC has announced any change. This is Rogan’s personal criticism of a system he has opposed for years.

What do you think: should fighters receive a larger guaranteed purse regardless of the result, or should win bonuses remain part of the sport?

🏆 Islam Makhachev enters UFC 330 as the favorite—but Ian Machado Garry presents a very different challenge.

Makhachev owns the advantages in grappling, control and championship experience. Garry brings a five-inch height advantage, longer reach, dangerous movement and an eighty-percent takedown defense.

Our prediction: Makhachev 76% — Garry 24%.

Most likely outcome: Makhachev by decision after using pressure, chain wrestling and top control. But if Garry maintains distance and repeatedly stops the first takedown, the challenger could turn this into a very uncomfortable night for the champion.

Do you agree with our prediction—or are we underestimating Garry? 👇

🚨 WHAT DOES UFC DO NEXT?

Dana White says the UFC is already exploring another one-of-a-kind mega-event—but this time, nobody outside the company knows what it is.

According to White, UFC Head of Production Craig Borsari recently presented him with a completely new event concept—and he loves the idea.

However, there is an important difference between an idea and an officially announced event:

No location has been revealed.
No date has been announced.
No fighters have been attached.
And additional groundwork still needs to be completed.

UFC has already delivered two extraordinary spectacles: the Sphere in Las Vegas and UFC Freedom 250 at the White House. White has also made it clear that the White House event was a one-time experience and will not be repeated.

Now the challenge is not simply finding a bigger arena. It is creating something the audience has never seen before. 👀

If there were no limits, where would you stage the next truly unique UFC event? ❓

🥊 Payton Talbott could be getting the biggest name of his UFC career.

A bantamweight fight between Talbott and former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo is being targeted for UFC 332 on October 3 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.

⚠️ According to MMA Fighting, both sides have agreed to the matchup, but the contracts had not yet been signed when the news was reported. This is not an officially finalized booking yet.

Talbott has won five of his six UFC appearances and recently defeated former two-division champion Henry Cejudo. Figueiredo, meanwhile, is under serious pressure after losing four of his last five fights.

🔥 Is Talbott ready to defeat another former champion, or will Figueiredo remind everyone exactly who he is?
