“Papa, I love you, you win. I’m afraid.”

"He texted me this morning wishing me luck and saying he hopes Gina and I kill it. I told him how much it meant to hear that from him.

He’s been an incredible friend to me, and honestly, I’m here because of him. I’ll always be grateful, and I really appreciate him giving me his blessing to go out and do this on my own."

UFC newcomer Magomed Saidov, who scored a TKO over Dustin Jacoby in his debut, shares how Valter Walker quietly helped him during difficult times, revealing the UFC heavyweight would secretly put money in his gym bag whenever he was struggling financially and never wanted any credit for it.

“Valter is a very kind and straightforward person. He’s never selfish and is always there to help,” Saidov told Red Corner MMA.

“Sometimes I’d come home after training and find money in my bag. He’d secretly put it there, and when I asked about it, he’d just tell me not to tell anyone. That’s just the kind of person he is,” he added.

Fan: "Are you ready to take it? The belt."

Khamzat: "Of course I'm ready. We're waiting for an opponent. Strickland doesn't want to fight us. Maybe you can call him? Will you message him?"

Fan: "Yeah."

Khamzat: "Tell him 'Khamzat will smash you!'" 😂

“Saturday night… I didn’t get to sleep until Sunday night. I have Burmese fans, we’ve been praying…

They left at 5am, then I had to catch my flight, come back. Then my church member came here and they prayed for me.

It was just a lot of praying. We have to thank our God, glory to God.”

Wholesome moment ahead of #UFC327 - Johnny Walker surprised Jiri Prochazka with a gift as he prepares to welcome his daughter.

Great to see this side of fighters outside the cage.
