#3. Jon Jones weighs in on Dana White's Power Slap League

Jon Jones recently shared his thoughts on Dana White's polarizing Power Slap League, admitting he finds the sport dangerous. Whilst many would expect 'Bones' to back White, considering the two appear to have a close friendship, it appears as though Jones isn't a big believer in Power Slap. Speaking in a recent interview with Nina-Marie Daniele, Jones stated that whilst he supports the UFC CEO, he finds the sport too "wild." He explained:

'Honestly, I support anything that Dana White is doing. It's [Power Slap] is different, but different doesn't necessarily mean bad. It's giving some tough guys out there a chance at fame, what they do with their fame is up to them. It's entertaining people, it's giving people a home. There are different strokes for different folks. But yeah, I do think it's very dangerous...You're gonna get slapped and that's the thing I don't quite support. It's a wild sport."

#2. Robert Whittaker shares health update following UFC 308 loss to Khamzat Chimaev

Robert Whittaker has provided an update on his health after his UFC 308 defeat to Khamzat Chimaev. 'The Reaper' suffered a crushing loss at the hands of 'Borz' last month, tapping immediately to a face crank submission in the first round. It was revealed after the fight that Whittaker had suffered damage to his teeth and jaw.

Now, over a month on from the fight, Whittaker has given fans an update on how he's doing. Speaking on his MMArcade podcast, the UFC middleweight revealed he has now had a number of his teeth removed:

"I haven't been able to bite down on an apple since I was 19, right? They've [Bottom teeth] always been bad and, I don't know, I should've dealt with them...yeah, they're just gone. Don't need them. My life is better without them. Fun fact, though, when they took them out, they found a massive cyst in my jaw because apparently they think that might have been where the infections were coming from for the teeth."

#1. Joe Rogan shares his thoughts on Drake's fight bets

Joe Rogan recently offered his take on Drake's high-profile betting, which often sees the rap star throw enormous amounts of money on some of the biggest fights in boxing and MMA.

The Grammy-winning artist has become infamous for bets he has placed on MMA fights over recent years, leading to the MMA community coining the term the 'Drake Curse.' This is because more often than not, the fighter he puts money on ends up losing.

Rogan then weighed in on Drake's betting during a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience. According to the UFC commentator, he'd like to talk to the rapper about his picks. He said:

"I want to get a hold of Drake and talk to him about his fight picks [laughs]. That motherf*cker loses more money on fights. I wanna call him up."
