Tsarukyan says he would beat Khabib by decision; Cormier proposes McGregor fight

Arman Tsarukyan stated he believes he would have defeated Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his well-rounded skillset as the key advantage. UFC President Dana White commented that he is glad to step back from fighter negotiations, saying the company has outgrown that phase and he grew tired of dealing with often frivolous fighter issues. Daniel Cormier proposed an unusual career path for Islam Makhachev, suggesting he should fight Conor McGregor next. Tsarukyan was reportedly prepared to wager one million dollars on Hamzat Chimaev's victory, but a streamer who proposed betting on Sean O'Malley immediately pulled back and changed the bet amount to fifty thousand dollars. The post also references positive internal perception of Jiri Prochazka and his belief that Alex Pereira could defeat Ciryl Gane.
