Tsarukyan proposes three dream fights: Jon Jones vs. Alex Pereira, Khamzat Chimaev vs. Sean Strickland, and his own potential bout against Ilia Topuria. He discusses the reported $15 million demand from Jon Jones for a fight against Stipe Miocic (or potentially Pereira), which reportedly led to a $5 million gap and the fight falling through. Tsarukyan believes the UFC could afford to pay Jones $15 million, especially given his legendary status and limited fights remaining, comparing it to Conor McGregor's high earnings. He suggests that financial disagreements, rather than a lack of willingness to fight, are the primary obstacles.
