Arman Tsarukyan says he would have beaten Khabib; Dana White steps back from negotiations

Arman Tsarukyan believes he would have defeated Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his versatile skill set as a key advantage. Jiri Prochazka is highly valued by UFC management, having fought eight times in the organization with four title fights. Prochazka also expressed confidence that Alex Pereira could defeat Ciryl Gane. Meanwhile, Dana White stated he is pleased to have stepped away from fighter negotiations, noting the company has outgrown that phase and he grew tired of dealing with often frivolous fighter issues. Daniel Cormier proposed an unusual career move for Islam Makhachev, suggesting he should fight Conor McGregor. Tsarukyan was prepared to bet one million dollars on Khamzat Chimaev's victory, but the streamer who proposed the bet quickly lowered the wager to $50,000.
