Arman Tsarukyan declared that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely as Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights, and that he will take over the sport within a year. Tsarukyan stated that when people see him, they'll think of the UFC, and he will become the face of the organization once he captures the title. Dana White commented that he likes Tsarukyan's current activity level and that all he needs to do for a title shot is not act like a "maniac." The post also mentions that Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier will be the new coaching pair on the next season of The Ultimate Fighter, and references unusual behavior from Josh Hockit who has been confronting fighters in the lobby.
