Arman Tsarukyan predicts Islam Makhachev will retire soon, vows to become UFC's face

Arman Tsarukyan stated that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely to happen because Makhachev will retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan expressed confidence that 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. Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier will serve as coaches on the next season of The Ultimate Fighter, according to the same report.
