Arman Tsarukyan says he'd beat Khabib by decision; Dana White steps back from negotiations

Arman Tsarukyan stated he believes he would have defeated Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his versatile skill set as the main advantage. Jiri Prochazka is highly rated by UFC brass, having fought in four title bouts across just eight UFC appearances. Dana White expressed relief at stepping away from direct 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 prepared to wager one million dollars on Khamzat Chimaev's victory but the streamer who proposed the bet immediately pulled back, changing the wager to fifty thousand dollars.
