Tsarukyan claims he would beat Khabib by decision in hypothetical matchup

Arman Tsarukyan stated he believes he would defeat Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his more well-rounded skillset as the main advantage. Jiri Prochazka is highly valued by UFC management, having competed in eight UFC fights with four being title fights. Prochazka expressed confidence that Alex Pereira could defeat Ciryl Gane at heavyweight. Dana White revealed he's pleased to have stepped back from fighter negotiations, saying the company has outgrown that phase and he grew tired of dealing with often "extremely frivolous" fighters' problems. Daniel Cormier suggested an unusual career continuation for Islam Makhachev, proposing he should fight Conor McGregor. Tsarukyan was prepared to bet one million dollars on Khamzat Chimaev's victory, but the streamer who proposed betting on Sean Strickland immediately pulled back and changed the wager amount to $50,000.
