Tsarukyan says he would beat Khabib; Prochazka highly valued by UFC brass

Arman Tsarukyan believes he would have defeated Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his versatile skill set as the key advantage. Jiri Prochazka is very highly rated by UFC management, having fought four title fights in just eight UFC bouts. Prochazka expressed confidence that Alex Pereira could defeat Ciryl Gane. Dana White said he is glad to have stepped back from direct fighter negotiations, stating the company has outgrown that phase and he grew tired of dealing with often frivolous fighter issues. Daniel Cormier proposed that Islam Makhachev should fight Conor McGregor next, while Tsarukyan was willing to bet one million dollars on Khamzat Chimaev but the streamer who proposed the bet quickly reduced the wager to fifty thousand dollars.
