Tsarukyan says Islam will retire soon, vows to become face of UFC

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 only needs to avoid acting like a maniac to secure a title shot. The post also mentions ongoing accusations between Islam and Ilia Topuria that remain unresolved. Additionally, it notes that Paulo Costa said he enjoys fighting Russians because they are tough like Brazilians.
