Tsarukyan says he would've beaten Khabib; Cormier proposes McGregor bout for Makhachev

Arman Tsarukyan believes he would have defeated Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his well-rounded skill set as a key advantage. Daniel Cormier suggested an unexpected career move for Islam Makhachev, proposing a fight with Conor McGregor. Dana White expressed relief at stepping back from fighter negotiations, saying the company has outgrown that phase and he grew tired of dealing with often irresponsible fighters. Jiri Prochazka is reportedly highly valued by UFC brass, having fought in four title fights across just eight UFC appearances. Tsarukyan was reportedly prepared to bet $1 million on Khamzat Chimaev's victory, but a streamer who proposed the wager quickly reduced the amount to $50,000.
