Earning wins in the UFC is certainly no easy task, but what comes next is often even more important: the post-fight callout.
So after Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 27 event in Norfolk, Va., who took advantage of their time on the mic? See below for this week’s Callout Collection – and just how realistic each one is.

First up, let’s take a look at the night’s prelim winners.
Brendan Allen
Wants to fight: Trevin Giles
The callout: “I’d love to avenge one of my losses at ‘International Fight Week’ coming up (against Trevin Giles). But right now, I just want to go home and see my baby.”
The reality: Brendan Allen looked superb in his first-round finish of British prospect Breese, and a matchup with former foe Giles, who defeated him in his third professional fight, might just make sense. Giles snapped a two-fight losing streak with a win over James Krause, who jumped up two weight classes to face him on a day’s notice, and will be looking for a win against a legitimate 185-pounder next time out to get the ball rolling again. A matchup against a man he has faced before might be just the ticket for Giles, while giving Allen the rematch he clearly craves.
Next up, the first of two women’s featherweight contenders…
