Welcome to Sportskeeda's daily MMA News Roundup, where we present the biggest UFC updates and other stories from the world of mixed martial arts.
In today's issue, we talk about Conor McGregor's latest opinion on MMA rules, Paddy Pimblett's profanity-riddled rant at Jared Gordon, and more.
#3. Conor McGregor wants spitting and snotting abolished in the UFC
Conor McGregor was closely observing this past weekend's UFC event and spotted a sequence that he wants banned.
In the fourth round of the headliner, Marlon Vera discharged a blob of spit inside the octagon and Cory Sandhagen released a snot rocket of similar magnitude. According to McGregor, these actions should have consequences for the fighters in the form of a point deduction.
The Irishman has since deleted the tweets, but FanSided's Amy Kaplan shared screenshots of them:
Exchanging body fluids aside, Sandhagen delivered a clinical performance at UFC San Antonio, which was not entirely reflected in the split decision scorecard that drew criticism.
#2. Paddy Pimblett goes on a rant demanding a rematch with Jared Gordon
Speaking of controversial judging, Paddy Pimblett secured a questionable unanimous decision against Jared Gordon at UFC 282. Many fighters and fans believed that 'Flash' had won the bout. Gordon himself was quite upset about the decision as well.
It seems like the condemnation of the scorecard got to 'The Baddy', who went on an expletive-laden rant while at the hospital for ankle surgery. He also wanted a rematch.
"People are like, 'Oh, Jared Gordon did so well.' He only done well because me ankle was f**ked. You stupid t**t, and he's just being a bitter little girl, going on every interview site, 'Oh, I won that fight, I won that fight.'... I want to punch his head in towards the end of the year. I am going to run it back."
Pimblett added that he hopes Gordon wins his upcoming fight against Bobby Green.

#1. Joe Rogan discusses billionaires and their habit of using cocaine
Joe Rogan is not one to hold back on his opinions, be it about the COVID-19 medication or billionaires doing drugs.
On the latest episode of his podcast, he discussed the latter with guest Andrew Schulz. The UFC commentator joked that billionaires - be it the richest person in the world or the one ranked at No.39 - intake the same quality cocaine.
"Would you wanna be the richest guy in the world? Like what the f**k is that? Is he living any better than No.39? They leave 39 alone. 39 is probably worth $5 billion. That dude's chilling. They don't say jack s**t about that guy. That guy is eating filet mignon and drinking Dom Pérignon... Same pure cocaine, straight out of Colombia. Like they are flaking it off with razor blades. Like the purest f***ing brick cocaine."
Rogan and Schulz then went on to joke that guitarist Peter Frampton and actor John Travolta used to take cocaine in the 1970s.
Take a look at the light-hearted conversation below:
