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 skill set as the key advantage. Separately, Daniel Cormier proposed an unusual next fight for Islam Makhachev, suggesting a matchup against Conor McGregor. The post also notes that UFC management highly values Jiri Prochazka, who has fought eight times in the UFC with four of those being title fights. Additionally, Dana White expressed relief at stepping back from direct fighter negotiations, saying the company has outgrown that phase and he grew tired of dealing with often reckless fighters. Tsarukyan was also prepared to bet one million dollars on Khamzat Chimaev's victory, but the streamer who proposed the bet quickly reduced the wager to fifty thousand dollars.
