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

Arman Tsarukyan stated he believes he would have defeated Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his well-rounded skill set as his main advantage. UFC management reportedly values Jiri Prochazka highly, having given him four title fights in just eight UFC appearances. Prochazka expressed confidence that Alex Pereira could defeat Ciryl Gane. Dana White revealed he is pleased to have stepped back from fighter negotiations, saying the company has outgrown that phase and he grew tired of dealing with often irresponsible fighters. Daniel Cormier proposed an unusual career move for Islam Makhachev, suggesting a fight with Conor McGregor. Tsarukyan was ready to wager one million dollars on Khamzat Chimaev's victory, but the streamer who proposed the bet immediately pulled back and changed the wager amount to fifty thousand dollars.
