In today's issue, we talk about a couple of fighters from Dana White's Contender Series being added to the EA Sports video game, Charles Oliveira's coach making a bold prediction ahead of the Islam Makhachev fight, and more. #3 DWCS alumni to be added to the UFC 4 video game Bo Nickal (left) & Raul Rosas Jr. (right) [Photo credit: @espnmma on Twitter] The UFC president finally announced which Dana White's Contender Series contract winner will get the unique reward of being added to the UFC 4 video game. After asking fans to vote between Raul Rosas Jr. and Bo Nickal, White decided to just include both of them in the EA Sports console game. He told Laura Sanko: "So I asked the fans to vote on one of the social media platforms, Rosas is winning. And on the other one, Bo is winning. So I said to hell with it, we're taking both. We'll do both!"

Some Twitter users pointed out that it was disrespectful for the newcomers to be added before the likes of Alex Pereira, Taila Santos, and Jamahal Hill. #2 Charles Oliveira s coach makes bold claim ahead of Islam Makhachev fight Islam Makhachev (left) & Charles Oliveira (right) Much has been said about Islam Makhachev's wrestling prowess. The Dagestani booked a ticket to the lightweight title fight by outgrappling the competition. However, Charles Oliveira's wrestling coach, Alireza Noei, believes that Makhachev won't be able to impose his will on 'Do Bronx.' During a recent interview with PVT, the Iranian wrestler claimed (translated by MMA with Subtitles YouTube channel): "I'm a wrestler, right? And when it comes to wrestling, he [Islam Makhachev] is a lot more grounded than other athletes. He's strong because of that. I tried it a lot with Charles now, but with Charles you can't. I'll tell you, with Charles, you can't. You can't stabilize him on the ground, I think that in this fight, Charles won't fall." Watch the interview below: #1 Dana White downplays UFC Vegas 61 fan and media blackout Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White Fans couldn't help but wonder why UFC Vegas 61 attendance is being closed to the media and public. However, Dana White insists there's no "big secret" behind the blackout. Seemingly looking to deflect from the true reason, White offered a simple explanation as to why the UFC Apex's doors will remain closed on Saturday – to give media members a much-needed break. During the DWCS press conference, White jestingly said: "Oh, we just figured that you guys have been so busy lately, we'd give you guys a night off. Guys, you're here on Tuesdays, you're here on Saturdays. Kevin [journalist] actually showed up today. I mean, we gotta give you guys a break. So, you're welcome. You guys should stay home, order a pizza, watch the fights, take them in and enjoy yourselves." Catch Dana White's comments below: × Rate this story! Thank You!
