Arman Tsarukyan stated that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely to happen because Islam will retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan expressed confidence that he will take over the sport within a year, predicting that he will become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. Dana White commented that he likes Tsarukyan's current activity level and that Arman just needs to avoid acting like a "maniac" to secure a title shot. The post also included various other MMA news items, including Robert Whittaker denying rumors about fighting Ankalaev, Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier being announced as coaches for a new season of The Ultimate Fighter, and Josh Hokit's bizarre behavior targeting multiple fighters.
