Robert Whittaker has denied rumors about a potential fight with Magomed Ankalaev. Meanwhile, Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier will become the new coaching pair for the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter. Dana White praised Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level, stating that to secure a title shot, Tsarukyan simply needs to avoid acting like a maniac. Tsarukyan himself expressed doubt that a fight with Islam Makhachev will happen, predicting Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights, while claiming he will take over the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. The post also mentions Paulo Costa saying he loves fighting Russians because they are tough like Brazilians, and briefly notes tension between Islam Makhachev and Ilia Topuria, though details remain unclear.
