A beloved, but infrequently seen segment here at Fight Island is Fight Week, Pets Week, where we go beyond the sweat-drenched training sessions and seek out the Instagram posts of fighters and their pets.
The sole rule of Fight Week, Pets Week is we go back up to one calendar year from the event date to look for pictures of pets. Anything past that just shows the fighter doesn’t post the pets often enough. Post your pets!
PFL 2025 World Tournament 6
Ilara Joanne’s dog, Brolly Bagunceiro, which I think is a reference to the legendary Super Saiyan and also the Portuguese word for “messy”
Mando Gutierrez has a pair of very good dogs, from back at Christmas time.
Jena Bishop has a very photogenic Shiba Inu
Liz Carmouche’s mini-cow, and workout pal, Utters.
(Liz has a slew of dogs and goats as well. This whole post could have been all the critters on Liz’s farm, but special attention to Utters)
UFC on ABC 8
Irina Alekseeva, known as “Russian Ronda” has a very good cat pal
Tofiq Musayev spent some time on the beach with a pair of nice lookin pups
Jamahal Hill celebrated his dog’s first birthday back in December
Bonus! Russian Ronda has another lil friend
Finally, it is with deepest condolences that Fight Island honors Cooper, Khalil Rountree Junior’s dog who unfortunately passed away at the beginning of June. Rest in peace, Cooper.
