UFC CEO Dana White hinted at upcoming news regarding Conor McGregor, who has been out since a leg injury in July 2021, and other fighters such as Oliveira, Chandler, and Holloway. Despite a busy UFC year with notable fights like Dricus Du Plessis taking the middleweight title and Alexander Volkanovski losing his featherweight belt, there's a rare off-week for UFC events, providing fans a moment to rest before a packed schedule resumes. Potential cross-divisional superfights, including a possible Shevchenko vs. Pennington/Pena bout, are being speculated. Additionally, Caio Borralho's recent win positions him closer to a title shot, though he may need another fight before contending. The UFC is also considering shifting focus from 'The Ultimate Fighter' to more Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS) seasons.
