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 because Makhachev will retire after a couple more bouts. Tsarukyan predicted he will dominate 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 just needs to avoid behaving like a "maniac" to secure a title shot. White called Tsarukyan a "tough bastard." The post also mentions Robert Whittaker denied rumors of fighting Magomed Ankalaev, and includes notes about Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier coaching the next season of TUF, plus Josh Hockit's unusual trash talk behavior.
