Despite the controversy, Bautista defended his tactics, citing successful control over Aldo as a key factor. Meanwhile, Alex Pereira's victory over Khalil Rountree Jr. in a light heavyweight title defense was celebrated, with Pereira setting a record for three consecutive title defenses in 175 days. Conor McGregor also feuded with UFC athletes on social media, including calling out Belal Muhammad over comments about Dagestani fighters. The ongoing debate around Bautista's win and McGregor's vocal presence highlight ongoing tensions and narratives in the UFC community.
