Arman Tsarukyan says Islam bout unlikely, plans to become UFC's face

Arman Tsarukyan stated that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely because Islam will retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan expressed confidence that within a year he will dominate the sport and become the face of the UFC, needing only the title to complete that vision. Dana White commented that he likes Tsarukyan's current activity level and that he just needs to avoid acting like a "maniac" to secure a title shot. Robert Whittaker also denied rumors about a potential bout with Magomed Ankalaev. Additionally, Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier were announced as the new coaching pair for the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter.
