Tsarukyan believes he would beat Nurmagomedov; Prochazka accumulates title shots

Arman Tsarukyan stated he believes he would have defeated Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his diverse skill set as the main advantage. Jiri Prochazka has been highly valued by UFC management, having competed in eight UFC fights including four title fights. Prochazka expressed confidence that Alex Pereira could defeat Ciryl Gane. Dana White said he's glad to step back from fighter negotiations, noting 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 by proposing a fight with Conor McGregor. Tsarukyan was ready to bet $1 million on Chimaev's victory, but the streamer who proposed the wager immediately reduced the amount to $50,000.
