With all the lodge altercations over the final number of years, like the notorious hand-sanitizer incident between Paddy Pimblett and Ilia Topuria at UFC London, possibly it is time for UFC to set up a cage in the resort foyer in circumstance fighters blow their stacks prior to showtime.

Setting up with bitter rivals Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling.

“If we see his staff, we kill [all his] group,” Yan explained to reporters at the UFC 273 media day. “Right now, not Saturday.”

Yan misplaced his 135-pound title by way of disqualification at UFC 259 but managed to assert the interim crown when Sterling took an extended depart of absence to fix his hurt neck. The time off led to an progressively hostile war of words about social media.
