Former UFC champion Usman: “Having six title fights at a tournament in the White House is a very bad idea”
Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman said that he does not approve of holding multiple title fights as part of the UFC tournament at the White House.
US President Donald Trump confirmed that the American White House will host the UFC tournament in 2026. The tournament will take place on June 14. The sporting event will be part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of US independence. The octagon will be installed on the lawn in front of the presidential residence. It is expected that at least six title fights of the organization will take place within the framework of the tournament.
— They are talking about six or seven title fights within the tournament. But who wants to watch seven title fights in a row?! These are fights of five rounds. What if four, five or six fights in a row seem boring? I think this is a bad idea. Very bad idea.
First of all, we want to see contenders fights because these guys are willing to risk everything. And the champion’s main goal is to retain the title. A champion must be smart, act tactically, and strategically retain his title. They fight carefully, they need to be smarter than everyone else. To be honest, by the third title fight I’ll probably be asleep. Seriously, it’s true,” MMA Junkie quotes Usman.

Team Director Alexandra Usika Sergey Lapin commented on the possible fight of the Ukrainian player with former champion Deontay Wilder:
“Negotiations and discussions are ongoing, but so far no final decision has been taken and nothing has been signed. We are acting calmly and professionally. Once everything is agreed, it will be officially announced.”
We only consider the largest and most logical options; Fights that really make a splash, not just another name.
There are a number of senior names in the conversation, but the list varies by generation, deadlines, dates and publication structure. Our stance is simple: if this is going to be a fight, it has to be big,” Lapin said.

An MMA fighter beat up his stylist neighbor and threatened his little children with a gun because of the noise.
In Odintsovo, near Moscow, a mixed martial arts fighter beat up a stylist neighbor and threatened his wife and small children with a pistol because of the noise, reports the Mash Telegram channel.
According to the publication, 33-year-old MMA fighter Andrei R., who works as a security guard and personal driver, went to his neighbors downstairs to investigate. After the stylist opened the door, the man hit him in the head several times. The incident was witnessed by the stylist’s wife and children – a three-year-old son and a 1.5-year-old daughter.
After the conflict, the fighter returned to his apartment. When the victim approached his door, it suddenly opened – a neighbor came out with a gun, pointed it at the man and began shouting that he would “shoot” his family. As a result, another neighbor snatched the weapon from his hands.
Police and ambulance arrived at the scene. The stylist was taken to the hospital with a concussion and bruises, and after that the children were under severe stress and did not sleep for several nights.
It is noted that the conflict between neighbors has been going on since 2023. First, Andrei R. complained about the repairs, and then about the stomping, toys and crying of children, and threatened with complaints to the commission on juvenile affairs and the presence of “connections.”
