Whittaker denies Ankalaev fight rumors; Arman eyes title within a year

Robert Whittaker has denied rumors of a fight with Magomed Ankalaev. Arman Tsarukyan stated he believes a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely as Islam will retire after a couple more fights, and predicted he will take over the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. Dana White praised Tsarukyan's recent activity and said he just needs to avoid acting like a "maniac" to secure a title shot. The post also mentions Paulo Costa expressing his love for fighting Russians, calling them tough like Brazilians. Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier are set to become coaches on a new season of The Ultimate Fighter.
