It's Monday morning Donks, and LT is in the house with a major announcement about Morning Kombat's next chapter.

After getting through MK updates, it's time to get into the latest news in the combat game. Dana White has done some media interviews recently that are worth taking a closer look at - including telling Stephen A. Smith that he plans to "get rid of" sanctioning bodies in boxing.

Plus, there were some recent fight announcements to go over.

Also, text message exchanges between UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard and MMA manager Marcelo Brigodeiro were revealed in a court case in Brazil.

And Jon Jones says it's unlikely he'll face Alex Pereira on the UFC White House card.

That and more on an MK Monday.
