Arman Tsarukyan stated he believes he would have beaten Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his versatile skill set as the main advantage. Daniel Cormier suggested an unusual career path for Islam Makhachev, proposing a fight with Conor McGregor. Dana White expressed relief at stepping back from fighter negotiations, saying the company has outgrown that phase and he grew tired of dealing with what he called often frivolous fighter issues. Jiri Prochazka is highly rated by UFC management, having fought four title fights in just eight UFC bouts. Tsarukyan was ready to bet one million dollars on Khamzat Chimaev's victory, but the streamer who proposed the bet on Sean O'Malley immediately pulled back and changed the wager to fifty thousand dollars.
