Arman Tsarukyan stated he believes he would have defeated Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his versatility as a key advantage. Daniel Cormier proposed an unusual next step for Islam Makhachev's career, suggesting he should fight Conor McGregor. Jiri Prochazka expressed confidence that Alex Pereira could defeat Ciryl Gane. Dana White revealed he is relieved to step away from direct fighter negotiations, saying the company has outgrown that phase and he grew tired of dealing with often frivolous fighter issues. Tsarukyan was reportedly ready to bet $1 million on Khamzat Chimaev's victory, but a streamer who proposed the bet quickly reduced the wager to $50,000.
