Undefeated UFC middleweight Mansur Abdul-Malik is extremely hard on himself to the point that he hasn't been happy with any of his performances.

Though Ngannou's appearance at a UFC event does not mean that he is there to discuss business with the organization, this is the first time that the former champion has returned. UFC President Dana White was very outspoken about Ngannou's departure and comments on fighter pay, often responding with barbs that seemed very personal.

Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman will fight Joaquin Buckley in Saturday's Fight Night marquee. Ngannou accompanied Usman, his good friend, to the ceremonial weigh-ins on the eve of the fight. Ngannou is not a licensed cornerman and only showed up to support Usman, according to MMA Junkie.

At media day, Brundage took questions from media members before his fight. Brundage is the second biggest underdog on the card. If he beats Abdul-Malik, who is as much as a 9-1 betting favorite,

Gaethje laid out his terms for fighting again, and they involve a shiny belt on the line or a whole lot more money.
