Arman Tsarukyan stated that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely to happen, predicting 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 only needs to avoid acting like a "maniac" to secure a title shot. The post also mentions Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier will coach the next season of The Ultimate Fighter, and includes brief notes about Robert Whittaker denying Ankalaev fight rumors and Curtis Blaydes receiving unexpected fan support due to Josh Hockit's bizarre behavior. Paulo Costa was quoted saying he loves fighting Russians because they are tough like Brazilians.
