Robert Whittaker has publicly denied rumours of a scheduled bout with Magomed Ankalaev. Dana White commented positively on Arman Tsarukyan's recent activity, stating that to secure a title shot, Tsarukyan simply needs to avoid behaving like a "maniac." Tsarukyan himself expressed doubt that a fight with Islam Makhachev will happen, predicting Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan stated he plans to dominate the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. The post also mentions ongoing disputes between Islam and Ilia, though details remain unclear.
