Tsarukyan believes he would beat Nurmagomedov, Prochazka valued by UFC brass

Arman Tsarukyan stated he believes he would have defeated Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his well-rounded skills as his main advantage. Jiri Prochazka is highly rated by UFC management, having fought in four title fights across just eight UFC bouts, demonstrating the promotion's confidence in the Czech fighter. Prochazka expressed belief that Alex Pereira can defeat Ciryl Gane. Dana White revealed he is glad to have stepped away from personally negotiating with fighters, saying the company has outgrown that stage and he grew tired of dealing with often frivolous fighter issues. Daniel Cormier proposed an unusual career direction for Islam Makhachev, suggesting he should fight Conor McGregor. Tsarukyan was prepared to bet one million dollars on Hamzat Chimaev's victory, but the streamer who proposed the wager immediately pulled back and reduced the bet amount to $50,000.
