President Donald Trump is scheduled to travel to Miami for Saturday’s UFC 327, headlined by Jiri Prochazka versus Carlos Ulberg for the vacant Light Heavyweight Championship. 

UFC will present its latest numbered card at the Kasaya Center in Miami, Florida, on Saturday, with the title vacated by Alex Pereira on the line in the main event. It will be the second-to-last numbered event ahead of UFC Freedom 250 on the South Lawn of the White House in June 14. 

Dana White already confirmed this week that Saturday will see the first look at the set-up for the card in Washington DC, and had said “the big guy” was coming, alluding to Trump. 

According to the President’s official schedule he will be travelling to Miami specifically for the event this weekend. It will mark the first time he attends a sporting event since February, prior to beginning strikes on Iran, and the first time he attends a UFC event since UFC 316 in New Jersey last June. 

UFC Freedom 250 will be held on Trump’s birthday at the White House, headlined by Ilia Topuria versus Justin Gaethje for the Lightweight Championship. 

The former Light Heavyweight Champion, Pereira, will be making his heavyweight debut against Ciryl Gane for the Interim Heavyweight Championship. And the card will also feature Michael Chandler in action at lightweight, with Chandler and Gaethje both present for the UFC’s training seminar at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, recently. 

The Hardys (Matt and Jeff) remain the TNA World Tag Team Champions after defending their titles in a grueling Tables Match with The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) on Thursday’s episode of “TNA iMPACT.”

The rules for this match were simple: Send both opponents crashing through two separate tables, and you win. It was a nail-biter, as Dutch and Matt were the first to go through tables. But it was the godfathers who invented this stylized match, who made short work of their former frenemies in their 15-minute contest (Jeff concluded it with a Swanton Bomb on Vincent). TNA President Carlos Silva came in after the match to hand the Hardys their titles after their hard fought victory.

Joining the tag team ranks this past January, the Righteous first walked into TNA as the Hardy’s enemies. Recognizing their shortfall when their efforts to challenge for the titles were unsuccessful at Genesis in January, Vincent and Dutch decided to follow the proverb, “keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.” It worked briefly, but the Righteous returned to their wicked ways at the fittingly named pay-per-view event, Sacrifice, in late March.

In less than 48 hours, the Hardys will head to Cleveland, Ohio, and defend their championships again against The System’s Bear Bronson and Brian Myers at Rebellion on Saturday. Bronson and Myers earned their tag team title shot after defeating the teams of BDE and Rich Swann, Sinner & Saint (Judas Icarus and Travis Williams), and The Righteous in four-way number one contenders match on March 5. 

It’s been nearly four years since Nate Diaz had a professional MMA fight, but that will all change on May 16 when he fights Mike Perry for the MVP organization founded by Jake Paul and his business partner Nakisa Bidarian. 

Diaz recently opened up about how he does eventually want to go back to the UFC, and even got some big offers to return this year but the opponents that were offered to him weren’t right for him, implying that a trilogy fight with Conor McGregor was one of those fights. MVP’s Bidarian recently spoke with “Bloody Elbow” to not only confirm that MVP offered Diaz less money than the UFC, but it was their mentality as a promotion that swayed Diaz towards them.

“[UFC] really tried to sign Nate Diaz…When they said there’s an offer that Nate got that he couldn’t refuse, Nate was honest. We offered him less money than the UFC offered him, but we gave him a fighter-first mentality and a promise to work with him closely to be the best platform for him in his career.” Bidarian also noted that despite Diaz acting as a co-promoter on the MVP card where he fought Paul in a boxing match, Diaz will not be the co-promoter of the upcoming MMA card. However, Bidarian reiterated that he and Paul will be working with Diaz closely in the future.

Diaz has recently called out Paul for a rematch from their initial 2023 boxing match, this time wanting Paul to face him in an MMA fight. Bidarian did acknowledge this, but confirmed that Paul is currently sidelined with an injury, meaning that Diaz will have to be a little more patient before he gets his rematch.

Yet another legend appeared in the “Undead Realm” as Abyss made a cameo during “TNA Impact.”

Since Rosemary and then Allie’s return to TNA programming, they have been appearing in backstage vignettes designed to address the latter’s return from storyline death, with Raven having already joined the fold alongside them in recent weeks. 

Thursday’s show saw the latest installment of their journey, with James Mitchell welcoming Tessa Blanchard to the “Undead Realm” as Victoria Crawford and Mila Moore found themselves elsewhere within the realm. Mara Sade was presented by Rosemary to Allie, with them saying that they were collecting sins and needed her help to do so. 

Before long, Rosemary was reunited with Mitchell and asked for a favor, to which he said nothing comes for free. Rosemary said she would never ask without offering something in return, and then the camera panned to Abyss. 

“Forgive me father, for I have sinned,” Abyss said to Mitchell as the segment drew to a close.

Abyss was inducted into TNA’s Hall of Fame in 2018 after a run with the company that saw him become World Champion, X-Division Champion, and World Tag Team Champion on two occasions. He has worked for WWE as a producer since 2019. 

Johnny Walker will be in action at UFC 327 when he takes on Dominick Reyes, but despite that bout being at light heavyweight, a recent training session with former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou might have finally convinced Walker to make the big leap up to the heavyweight division.

Speaking to MMA Mania ahead of his fight with Reyes, Walker explained that after sparring with “The Predator” in preparation for UFC 327, he believes that heavyweight might be the next logical move for him, regardless of what happens this weekend. “I’ve been training with Francis Ngannou, sparring with him. Even while dieting, with about a 44-pound difference since I’m much lighter now, I’ve been able to train with him just fine. Even in wrestling, strength, and ground-and-pound. If I can do that while dieting, imagine without it?”

Walker has been very open about how gruelling his weight cuts down to 205 pounds have been over the years. He explained that while dieting, he can’t train properly, suffers from dizzy spells, and has next-to-no energy even in fight week from trying to make the 205 pound weight limit, making the move to heavyweight feel all the more inevitable. “When a heavyweight is fighting on the same card as me and I see them training during fight week, doing all kinds of stuff, and I’m there depleted, no energy, it’s tough. But I’m going to move up. It won’t take long.”

Walker is currently ranked 12th in the light heavyweight division, meaning that a win over Reyes at UFC 327 wouldn’t immediately put him in title contention. Combine that with the fact that Walker has fought at heavyweight during his time in his native Brazil, and a depleted heavyweight division could be getting a big boost if Walker makes the jump.
