#3. Preparing for Charles Oliveira has cost Islam Makhachev seven figures

Islam Makhachev has been hailed by many as the second coming of Khabib Nurmagomedov. His record, along with his ability and near-invincible aura as highlighted by his coaches, mentors, managers, and teammates, have made him a favorite in the UFC 280 betting odds against Charles Oliveira.

However, it seems like Makhachev has not taken Oliveira lightly.

In an interview with ESPN's Brett Okamoto, Makhachev and Nurmagomedov's AKA teammate Daniel Cormier revealed that the team has "spent over seven figures" preparing to fight 'do Bronx':

"Those guys have been training hard. They have been in Abu Dhabi for a while. They said they spent over seven figures on training camps, preparing this guy... for this fight."

The spend includes costs incurred for training facilities, hotel rooms, training partners, and more.

#1. Khamzat Chimaev's gym suspended from participating in Swedish MMA League

Reporter John S. Nash shared a translated screenshot of a post yesterday from an account of the Swedish MMA Federation.

In the post, the federation announced that they had banned Allstars Gym from participating in the Swedish MMA League until further notice. The post also stated that the decision was taken based on several complaints about the conduct of the gym members, which included "threats and other disruptions."

Here's the follow-up correction:

The Allstars Gym is where rising superstar Khamzat Chimaev trains, along with Darren Till and Alexander Gustafsson.

Head coach Andreas Michael attempted to counter the bad news with a good one by announcing on Instagram that their new "state of the art center" will open in January.
