Dana White expressed approval of Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level and stated that the Armenian contender is close to earning a title shot. White's main advice to Tsarukyan is to avoid behaving like a "maniac" as he approaches his championship opportunity. Meanwhile, Tsarukyan himself claimed that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely, predicting Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan expressed confidence that he will dominate the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. The post also included brief updates on other fighters, including Robert Whittaker denying rumors of a bout with Magomed Ankalaev, and Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier being announced as coaches for the next season of The Ultimate Fighter.
