Mike Malott applauds Joaquin Buckley for how he handled his knockout loss and reacts to his viral post-fight video: “It's very redeeming and endearing. It's genuine, because a loss like that, 99% of people want to crawl under a rock and not be seen. He's like, ‘I own it when I win and I own it when I lose.’ There's no excuses. He's not like, ‘I was sick going into the fight’ or ‘I had a bad training camp.’ He's like, ‘Damn, caught me.’ How do you not like the guy? I thought it was a funny video, but also genuine. Good for him, man."

Petr Yan fires back at Merab Dvalishvili for calling him rude and threatening to humble him: “I was just being real. When I was asked a question and he started making things up, I just told him to shut up. Most importantly, he himself acknowledged that I humbled him. The biggest difference from the first fight is that in the second fight I could punch him, and he himself admitted that he was broken in the second round. You can state it as a fact that I made him humble.”

Bo Nickal recounts a heated confrontation he had with Gable Steveson at an RAF event, where Gable threatened to knock him out: “I went right up to Gable and I was like, ‘Bro, what's your problem? Why are you talking crazy about me?’ It got kind of heated at that point... I remember this so vividly, he's like, ‘I'll knock you out.’ I'm like, ‘You absolutely won't knock me out. I don't know if I'd beat you in a wrestling match, but I would destroy you in a fight.’ One of the things I said to him was, ‘You have no defense. You're not experienced enough to understand how to get away from these strikes.’ Then boom, however many weeks later, Gable got knocked out.”
