Robert Whittaker has publicly denied rumours linking him to a fight with Magomed Ankalaev. Meanwhile, Arman Tsarukyan stated he expects to dominate UFC within a year and become the face of the promotion once he captures the title. Tsarukyan expressed doubt that a fight with Islam Makhachev will happen, predicting Islam will retire after a couple more fights. Dana White commented that he likes Tsarukyan's current activity level and that Arman simply needs to avoid acting like a "maniac" to secure a title shot. Additionally, Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier have been announced as the new coaching pair for the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter.
