"They all retire tonight... they should all retire tonight."
Weidman had considered retiring after his UFC Atlantic outing but later changed his mind. At UFC 310, Eryk Anders made quick work of him with a second-round finish. Guida, meanwhile, tapped out to Chase Hooper in a first-round submission loss.
Smith, having lost his best friend and longtime coach Scott Morton recently, was emotional throughout the fight. At one point, he put his hands down and asked opponent Dominick Reyes to punch him in the face, the latter revealed during the post-fight press conference. 'Lionheart' got knocked out in the second round by Reyes.
Bryce Mitchell apologizes to Joe Rogan
Joe Rogan dabbles in several conspiracy theories on his podcast, but he firmly rejects any possibility of the Earth being flat. UFC star Bryce Mitchell, meanwhile, ardently believes in the theory. He recently blasted Elon Musk and alleged that his space travels are not real.
In 2022, 'Thug Nasty' wanted to debate Rogan over the Flat Earth Theory, claiming that the planet does not rotate but the sun and the stars go around the Earth. He also confidently declared that gravity was fake.
However, while talking to Rogan after his UFC 310 fight, Mitchell seemed to have a change of heart about the commentator. He apologized to Rogan for calling him "stupid" and buried the hatchet.
"I called you stupid before because of something that you said and you know that you're not stupid. I know you're not stupid and I wanted to apologize to your face like a man and tell you I love you."

Mike Tyson gets sued for $1.6 million
Fighting Jake Paul has seemingly landed Mike Tyson in legal trouble.
A UK-based company that promotes online gambling, Medier, and betting company, Rabona, has accused Tyson and his company Tyrannic of breaking a January contract on the day the fight was announced. They cited a scheduling conflict and claimed that the boxer violated a contract.
In response, Tyson's team has released a statement to The Post:
"It is the company’s position that Medier, Ltd. materially breached the terms of its license agreement on multiple occasions and in various ways. As such, Tyrannic, LLC was well within its legal and contractual rights to terminate the license agreement for material breach in an effort to mitigate additional reputational harm to the Tyson brand."
The lawsuit, filed in October, claims the breach has cost Medier roughly $1.6 million
