Arman Tsarukyan claimed he would have defeated Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his versatile skill set as the key advantage. Daniel Cormier proposed an unusual career continuation for Islam Makhachev, suggesting a fight with Conor McGregor. Dana White expressed relief at stepping back from fighter negotiations, stating the company has outgrown that phase and he grew tired of dealing with often frivolous fighter issues. Tsarukyan reportedly was ready to bet $1 million on Khamzat Chimaev's victory, but the streamer who proposed the bet quickly reduced the wager to $50,000.
