Arman Tsarukyan stated that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely because Islam will retire after a couple more bouts. Tsarukyan declared 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 fighter only needs to avoid acting like a "maniac" to secure a title shot. In other news from the post, Robert Whittaker denied rumors about fighting Magomed Ankalaev, and Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier will be the coaches for the next season of The Ultimate Fighter.
