Arman Tsarukyan stated he believes a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely because Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan claimed he will take over the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. Dana White commented that he likes Tsarukyan's current activity level and that the Armenian fighter just needs to avoid acting like a "maniac" to secure a title shot. Additionally, the post mentions that Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier will be the new coaching pair for an upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter, and that Khamzat Chimaev submitted a training partner in 40 seconds. Josh Hockit's bizarre behavior in the fighter hotel lobby was also discussed as unprecedented trash talk.
