Tsarukyan Claims He Would Beat Khabib, Prochazka Believes Pereira Beats Gane

Arman Tsarukyan stated he believes he would have defeated Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his more well-rounded skill set as the main advantage. UFC commentator Daniel Cormier proposed an unusual continuation of Islam Makhachev's career, suggesting he should fight Conor McGregor. Jiri Prochazka expressed belief that Alex Pereira could defeat Ciryl Gane. Dana White revealed he's happy to have stepped back from personally negotiating with fighters, saying the company has outgrown that phase and he grew tired of dealing with often frivolous fighter issues. Tsarukyan was prepared to bet one million dollars on Khamzat Chimaev's victory, but a streamer who proposed betting on Sean Strickland immediately pulled back and changed the wager to $50,000.
