Arman Tsarukyan declared that he will capture the UFC lightweight title and become the face of the promotion within the next year. He suggested that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely, predicting that Makhachev will retire after a couple more bouts. Tsarukyan expressed confidence that people will think of UFC when they see him, positioning himself as the future of the division. Dana White commented that he likes Tsarukyan's current activity level and that he just needs to avoid behaving like a "maniac" to secure a title shot. The post also mentioned that Robert Whittaker denied rumors of a bout with Magomed Ankalaev, and that Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier will coach the next season of The Ultimate Fighter.
