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 expressed doubt that his fight with Islam Makhachev will happen, suggesting Makhachev will retire after a couple more bouts. Dana White commented that he likes Tsarukyan's current activity and that the Armenian fighter just needs to avoid behaving like a "maniac" to secure a title shot. The post also mentions White calling Tsarukyan a "tough bastard." Additionally, the post covers multiple other news items including Robert Whittaker denying rumors of a fight with Magomed Ankalaev, Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier being named as coaches for the next season of The Ultimate Fighter, and Josh Hockit engaging in unusual pre-fight behavior targeting multiple fighters.
