UFC President Dana White commented on Arman Tsarukyan's current activity level, stating he likes what he's seeing from the lightweight contender. White indicated that to secure a title shot, Tsarukyan simply needs to avoid behaving like a "maniac." In response, Tsarukyan expressed doubt that a fight with Islam Makhachev will happen, predicting the champion will retire after a couple more fights. The Armenian stated he will take over the sport within a year, becoming the face of the UFC once he captures the title. Additionally, the post mentioned Robert Whittaker denied rumors about fighting Magomed Ankalaev, and that Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier will be the coaching pair for the next season of The Ultimate Fighter.
