Tsarukyan: “I’ll knock out Oliveira in the first round”

Dmitriy Kel Jan. 11, 2024, 1:30 a.m.

Armenian UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan shared his expectations from the fight with the former division champion Brazilian Charles Oliveira, which will take place on April 13 at the UFC 300 tournament in Las Vegas.

“If you understand wrestling and jiu-jitsu and know how to defend yourself, it’s a completely different game. Choking someone is very difficult, especially when you are training with high level fighters. To strangle him, you need to beat him for 15-20 minutes, and then, when he gets tired, you can finish him off. In the first two rounds, it is almost impossible to choke out high-quality fighters.

My goal is to knock him out in the first round to show everyone that I deserve a fight with the champion,” MMA Junkie quotes Tsarukyan.
