UFC fans, buckle up — things are getting spicy in the MMA world. On a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, fans were left speechless when Joe seemingly let slip some insane inside info regarding UFC lightweight champ Islam Makhachev. And that’s not all — he also addressed the Khamzat Chimaev controversy, and even brought up Ilia Topuria in a way that got everyone asking:

Is Dana White planning something massive behind the scenes?

Let’s break down the chaos.

“There’s Big Things Coming for Islam…” – Joe’s Mystery Leak

While talking with a guest about the current state of the UFC lightweight division, Joe casually said:

“From what I’ve heard, there are some serious plans for Islam. Dana’s not messing around — there’s a legacy fight in the works.”

Wait — what?! Legacy fight? Who? When?

Rogan didn’t name names, but fans are already throwing out wild theories:

Islam vs. Leon Edwards at 170?

A rematch with Volkanovski in Abu Dhabi?

A surprise Conor McGregor callout??

While no official announcements have been made, Dana White has hinted in past interviews that “big things” are coming for Makhachev. Could Joe Rogan have just accidentally confirmed them early?

Khamzat Chimaev – FAKE NEWS??

Joe also didn’t hold back when the topic shifted to Khamzat Chimaev. Rumors have been swirling that Chimaev is injured, out of training, or even “quietly suspended” — but Rogan threw cold water on all of it.

“People make up so much BS online. Khamzat’s not out, he’s just been quiet. He’s a killer. He’ll be back soon.”

So what’s the deal?

Multiple MMA accounts claimed Chimaev pulled out of a planned June fight. But now, with Joe calling it “fake news”, fans are left wondering if Khamzat’s return is actually imminent — and if the UFC is holding back a surprise announcement.

Ilia Topuria… In the Lightweight Mix?!

Then came the curveball. Rogan brought up Ilia Topuria, the new featherweight champ who dethroned Alexander Volkanovski in stunning fashion.

“Topuria’s the real deal. If he goes up to 155, we could see some crazy matchups.”

Wait… is that a hint? Ilia recently teased a possible move to lightweight for a “big-money fight.” Could the UFC be plotting Topuria vs. Makhachev down the road?

A champ vs. champ showdown? Spain vs. Dagestan? You already know that would blow up the MMA world.

Fan Reactions: “Rogan Just Spoiled UFC 300 Plans!”

The internet exploded after the episode dropped. On X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit, fans shared their theories:

“Islam vs. Khamzat for the BMF belt, calling it now.”
“Rogan basically said Ilia’s moving to 155. That’s the headline.”
“Dana’s gonna be fuming Joe keeps leaking stuff.”

Whether Rogan is trolling, teasing, or actually leaking — he definitely stirred the pot.

Final Thoughts: What Is Dana White Actually Planning?

We know the UFC loves drama, and with names like Makhachev, Chimaev, and Topuria all on the rise — something big is definitely brewing. Whether it’s for UFC 300, Abu Dhabi, or a blockbuster end-of-year card, we may be in for some all-time matchups.

Until Dana White confirms anything, though, we’ll just keep refreshing Twitter… and rewatching Rogan’s “accidental” leaks.
