Welcome to the wacky world of MMA.
UFC 228 is around the corner, but none of us can stop talking about UFC 229. So lets start there..
Khabib vs Conor
Since Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov seemingly won’t do any marketing for their impending war, we are left with only their social media feed as fodder.
Team Khabib
Khabib pays homage to his little brother.

Some much needed grappling work.

Conor has a message for Khabib – Russian style.

‘The Notorious’ one still got time in between his hard training to do some marketing.

He is truly one of a kind.
Jones and DC go at it again
This is another never ending rivalry.
Jones casually revealed how he wanted to destroy DC’s life and dreams on his visit to Russia.
DC wasn’t having none of it.
Big goals for a guy that could only achieve them after he finishes getting disciplined for his 3rd drug failure! I mean jeez this guy #Cheater https://t.co/Kfuki7qRCM

Jones then went on a tirade on twitter.
Does my big goal somehow offend you? Why the need for name calling😩
— BONY (@JonnyBones) September 4, 2018
I set you up with several attacks to your body, you begin to protect your belly so I kicked you in your head. but you’re right somehow a steroid metabolite right before the fight made me smarter. You’re the champ champ, I’ll stop dreaming now

Something about Jones seems to put off the usually cool Double Champ.
Ok, that’s actually a good one with yo bitch ass! But you actually were on steroids the little white chick might not be , but you were n***a lmao https://t.co/aYdmcpf28o

This was all before Jones did his best to piss off old nemesis ‘the bad guy’ Chael Sonnen.

Cody Garbrandt getting back in the zone
Cody Garbrandt has deactivated his social media accounts for now. Told me he wanted to detach, and that he's getting back in the zone.
