Khamzat Chimaev
Khamzat doesn’t write essays. He writes verdicts. On X, @KChimaev posted “Colbi is not coming, he is scared” and walked away from the keyboard. There’s no last name, no event, no date, and no explanation of where Colby is supposedly not coming. That makes it either the laziest callout of the year or the most efficient, and with Khamzat it’s usually the second. It was also the most engaged fighter post of the day by a wide margin (710 engagements), so somebody’s group chat is already on fire. Chimaev spelled the name with an i at the end instead of a y, and I refuse to believe that was an accident. It reads like a man misspelling your name on purpose in a yearbook.
Shinya Aoki
This is the serious one, and it gets treated that way. Aoki (@a_ok_i) answered a critic who wrote that people should go after RIZIN for letting a fighter who had caused an accident in the past compete, and who accused Aoki of reacting differently than he did around a boxing situation. Aoki’s reply: “今は祈れ。落ち着いたらいくらでもお叱りを受けるから。” In plain English, he’s telling people to pray for now, and saying he’ll take all the scolding they want once things settle down. The post doesn’t spell out what happened, so I won’t either. What it does show is a veteran deciding the argument can wait and the praying can’t.
Darren Till
Till has a Dana White fantasy, and it’s beautiful. Posting as @darrentill2, he wrote: “If Dana gets into office at the White House how great is it going to be when he’s getting asked questions about the wars going on in the world and all the crisis and his reply to the questions is going to be who gives a shit 😂😂😂😂😂” Five crying-laughing emojis is the correct number. Anybody who has watched a UFC post-fight presser knows exactly the face Dana would make, and Till nailed the cadence. This is purely Till riffing on a hypothetical, nothing more. I’d still watch that press briefing over most cards.

Yuta Kubo
The former first K-1 welterweight world champion and current RIZIN fighter posted his stock portfolio like it’s a fight camp update. Kubo (@K1_Kubo_Yuta) wrote that after last week’s market crash, he got humbled right as he was hyping himself up about clearing 200 million yen in yearly profit and pushing toward 300 million. His numbers: up 105 million yen for 2025, and up 116 million yen so far this year. His game plan going forward is “1億のラインはなんとか死守したい。頑張ろう。” (roughly, he wants to defend the 100 million line at all costs). The man is up nine figures in yen and posting like he just got dropped in Round 1. Respect the honesty about getting cocky, though. Most traders never admit that.

Amanda Serrano
Serrano (@Serranosisters) dropped a pure teaser: “Oh WOW Some Blessings are so beautiful they make you Cry instead of Celebrating 😢

I’ll Share Soon 🙌 🙏” No details, no hints, nothing to report beyond the fact that something made her emotional enough to post about it before she was ready to explain. She said she’ll share soon, so we wait. Good news for one of the best to ever do it is good news, whatever it turns out to be.

Johnny Walker
This is my favorite post of the day. Walker (@JohnnyWalker) wrote: “Sorry guys I am not going to Newyork, The tickets 🎫 were sold out! There is not tickets left for the future ufc champ ! #ufc” He is a professional fighter on the roster announcing he can’t attend a show because Ticketmaster beat him. Calling himself the future champ in the same breath as getting shut out of the box office is elite comedy timing. Somebody at the promotion should comp this man a seat before he starts a beef with the venue.

Georges St-Pierre
GSP is out here doing pyramid content now, and I’m fully on board. He posted on X that he climbed inside the granite box in the King’s Chamber to feel the resonance for himself, opening with “A tomb… or something more?” and pointing fans to a full episode. While everybody else is arguing about Colby and Dana, the greatest welterweight ever is lying in an ancient stone box listening for vibrations. Peak Georges. The episode link is on his X account if you want to find out what a granite box sounds like.
