Arman Tsarukyan predicts Islam Makhachev will retire soon

Arman Tsarukyan stated that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely to happen, predicting that Makhachev will retire after a couple more bouts. Tsarukyan expressed confidence that within a year he will dominate the sport and become the face of the UFC once he captures the title. Dana White commented positively on Tsarukyan's recent activity level, suggesting that all Arman needs to do to earn a title shot is avoid acting like a "maniac."
