Tsarukyan says Islam may retire soon, plans to become UFC face

Arman Tsarukyan stated that a fight with Islam Makhachev is unlikely because Makhachev will likely retire after a couple more fights. Tsarukyan expressed confidence that within a year he will dominate the sport and become the face of UFC once he captures the title. Dana White commented that he likes Tsarukyan's current activity level and that the Armenian fighter now only needs to avoid behaving erratically to secure a title shot. The post also mentions that Paulo Costa said he enjoys fighting Russians because they are tough like Brazilians. Additionally, Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier will be the new coaching pair on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter.
