A digest of recent MMA news highlights several notable statements and developments. Arman Tsarukyan claimed he would have defeated Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his well-rounded skill set as the key advantage. Jiri Prochazka is reportedly highly valued by UFC management, having competed in eight UFC fights including four title fights. Dana White expressed relief at stepping away from direct fighter negotiations, stating the company has outgrown that phase and he grew tired of dealing with often irresponsible fighters. Daniel Cormier suggested an unusual career continuation for Islam Makhachev by proposing a fight with Conor McGregor. Tsarukyan was prepared to bet one million dollars on Khamzat Chimaev's victory, but the streamer who proposed the wager immediately backed down and reduced the bet to $50,000.
