Arman Tsarukyan stated that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely as Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights, and declared he will take over the sport within a year. Tsarukyan claimed he will become the face of the UFC once he captures the title, saying people will think of UFC when they see him. Dana White commented that he likes Tsarukyan's current activity level and that all he needs for a title shot is to stop acting like a "maniac." The post also mentions Robert Whittaker denied rumors about fighting Magomed Ankalaev, and that Paulo Costa said he loves fighting Russians because they are tough like Brazilians. Additionally, Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier will be coaches on the next season of The Ultimate Fighter.
