Tsarukyan says he would decision Khabib, Prochazka believes in Pereira

Arman Tsarukyan stated he believes he would have defeated Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his diverse skill set as his main advantage. Jiri Prochazka is highly rated by UFC brass, having competed in eight UFC fights with four being title fights. Prochazka expressed confidence that Alex Pereira could defeat Ciryl Gane. Dana White revealed he is happy to have stepped back from direct fighter negotiations, saying the company has outgrown that phase and he grew tired of dealing with often frivolous fighter issues. Daniel Cormier suggested an unusual career continuation for Islam Makhachev, proposing he should fight Conor McGregor. Arman Tsarukyan was prepared to bet one million dollars on Khamzat Chimaev's victory, but the streamer who proposed the bet immediately pulled back and changed the wager amount to $50,000.
