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 skills as the main advantage. Jiri Prochazka is highly rated by UFC management, 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 fighter negotiations, saying the company has outgrown that phase and he grew tired of dealing with often frivolous fighter issues. Daniel Cormier made an unusual career suggestion that Islam Makhachev should fight Conor McGregor. Tsarukyan was prepared to bet one million dollars on Khamzat Chimaev's victory, but the streamer who proposed the wager immediately pulled back and changed the bet amount to $50,000 when challenged.
