Dana White commented on Arman Tsarukyan's recent activity level, saying he likes what he sees from the Armenian fighter. White advised Tsarukyan that to secure his title shot, he simply needs to avoid behaving like a "maniac." Separately, Tsarukyan stated he believes a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely as Islam will retire after a couple more fights, while Arman plans to take over the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. Robert Whittaker has denied rumors of a fight with Magomed Ankalaev. Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier have been announced as the new coaching pair for the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter.
