Arman Tsarukyan targets UFC takeover, believes Islam will retire soon

Arman Tsarukyan has made bold predictions about his future in the UFC and Islam Makhachev's career trajectory. Tsarukyan stated he believes a fight with Makhachev is unlikely because the champion will retire after just a couple more bouts. The Armenian contender claimed that within a year, he will take over the sport and become the face of the UFC, with people thinking of him when they think of the promotion. He stated that all that remains is for him to capture the title. Additionally, Dana White praised Tsarukyan's recent activity level and suggested that avoiding reckless behavior is all that stands between him and a title shot. Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier were also announced as coaches for the next season of The Ultimate Fighter.
