#3 Conor McGregor launches new Irish record label
Conor McGregor has continued to rack up his milestones outside of the octagon after announcing this week he is set to launch his music record label.
'The Notorious' confirmed the label will be called 'Greenback Records', with their goal of helping to provide the best industry support and opportunities to artists, particularly those based in Ireland.
Taking to social media to confirm the news, McGregor is quoted as saying:
"I'm excited to create Ireland's first major record label in an industry that I've had great interest in for some time."
#2 Jake Paul claims Dana White has offered Mike Perry a UFC contract, if he earns a knockout win against him
During the last face-off before stepping into the ring against Mike Perry, Jake Paul had some stern words for his opponent and Dana White.
Paul, who is set to step into the squared circle against 'Platinum' this weekend, claimed that Perry and White are working towards his downfall. Speaking to Ariel Helwani on stage at the final presser, 'The Problem Child' claimed that Perry had been offered a contract by White, should he beat him in impressive style.
Jake Paul said:
"He flew like six feet. But look, Dana White said that he's going to give him [Perry] a UFC contract if he can knock me out. Well, guess what Dana, you can rip up the f*****g contract because I'm going to f**k up Mike Perry. Anyone you send at me, any one of your MMA fighters is getting f****d up. They've been trying to assassinate me, they don't want me in this sport. They hate that I run this sport, but when you try to assassinate a guy like me it only makes me bigger."

#1 UFC Vegas 94 co-main event is off due to medical reasons
UFC Vegas 94 won't be going ahead without a hitch after it was confirmed the co-main event bout between Brad Tavares and Jun-Yong Park was now off.
First reported by MMA Orbit, it was revealed that Park had suffered an undisclosed medical issue after just before the weigh-ins. With it then being so close to fight day, the promotion has opted to scrap the bout entirely rather than find a short notice opponent for Tavares.
