Arman Tsarukyan claims he would have beaten Khabib by decision

Arman Tsarukyan stated he believes he would have defeated Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his well-rounded skillset as the main advantage. UFC management reportedly holds Jiri Prochazka in very high regard, having given him four title fights in just eight UFC bouts. Prochazka expressed confidence that Alex Pereira could defeat Ciryl Gane. Dana White commented that he is pleased to have stepped back from direct fighter negotiations, stating the company has outgrown that phase and he grew tired of dealing with often frivolous fighter issues. Daniel Cormier suggested an unusual career path for Islam Makhachev, proposing a fight with Conor McGregor. Tsarukyan was reportedly ready to bet one million dollars on Khamzat Chimaev's victory, but the streamer who proposed the wager quickly withdrew and reduced the bet to $50,000.
