“Khalil, my man, I see you training a lot of wrestling with Khamzat. But in reality you don’t need it, all I would love to do with you is 25 mins of very high level striking master class if you can last this long”

– via X, challenging Khalil Rountree Jr. to a pure stand up battle while dismissing the importance of Rountree’s recent training camp with Khamzat Chimaev.

“Jiri Procházka, he kept kicking Carlos's legs, he did not show him any mercy. Fake. Procházka been knocked out three of his last six fights. I don't wanna hear his name anymore in the title picture, enough is enough. Jiří, never talk about me again”

– via X (formerly Twitter), launching a scathing attack on Jiří Procházka following the controversial conclusion of UFC 327 in Miami

“You know, the guys that are fighting on the same card as I am, Rountree and Prochazka, I'm not really interested in them anymore. They're yesterday's news. But this new guy, the Ulberg guy you're”

– talking about, I mean, he's interesting.

“When it comes down to Carlos Ulberg, obviously, he's a very interesting guy. He's on a winning streak. I saw the victory, I saw the highlight of the win. He hasn't been in the place where these guys have been. These guys have been knocked down by the former champ. [Ulberg] is a new guy; he hasn't tested these waters that they're in right now, so I think that's definitely someone I'm interested in...”

“We'll fight on oct. 4 and we don't have to exchange words anymore.”
