Arman Tsarukyan stated he believes he will take over the sport within a year and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. He suggested a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely as Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights. 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. White also called Tsarukyan a "tough bastard." The post also mentions ongoing drama between Islam and Ilia, Robert Whittaker denying rumors of a bout with Ankalaev, Paulo Costa saying he loves fighting Russians, Khamzat submitting someone nicknamed "Mouse" in 40 seconds, and Josh Hockit engaging in bizarre behavior including confronting fighters in the lobby.
