Whittaker denies Ankalaev bout rumors; White praises Tsarukyan activity

Robert Whittaker has denied rumors about a potential fight with Magomed Ankalaev. Dana White commented positively on Arman Tsarukyan's recent activity, stating that Tsarukyan only needs to avoid acting like a "maniac" to secure a title shot. Tsarukyan himself expressed doubt about fighting Islam Makhachev, suggesting the champion will retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan claimed he will capture the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he gets the title. Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier have been announced as the new coaching pair for an upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter.
