Tsarukyan claims he would beat Khabib, Prochazka highly valued by UFC

Arman Tsarukyan stated he believes he would have defeated Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision, citing his more well-rounded skill set as his main advantage. Jiri Prochazka is highly regarded by UFC management, having competed in eight UFC fights with four being title fights. Prochazka expressed confidence that Alex Pereira could defeat Ciryl Gane in a potential heavyweight matchup. Dana White revealed he is pleased 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 problems. Daniel Cormier suggested an unusual career direction 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 the bet immediately reduced the wager to $50,000.
