Tsarukyan says Islam unlikely to happen, plans to become UFC face within year

Arman Tsarukyan stated that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely to materialize as he believes Makhachev will retire after a couple more bouts. Tsarukyan expressed confidence he will capture the title and dominate the sport within a year, becoming the face of the UFC. Dana White commented positively on Tsarukyan's current activity level, suggesting he only needs to avoid acting like a maniac to secure a title shot. The post also mentioned ongoing accusations between Islam and Ilia as tiresome drama. Additional notes included Costa praising Russian fighters as tough like Brazilians, and Robert Whittaker denying rumors about fighting Ankalaev.
