The coach explained why Oliveira agreed to fight Tsarukyan

One of the mentors of the former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira Diego Lima explained why his ward agreed to fight with Arman Tsarukyan.

“The main goal for Oliveira is the belt. Charles is a former champion and is number one in the rankings, so we could wait, but a lot can change. Let's imagine that Tsarukyan fights Gaethje or Poirier and wins a spectacular knockout victory in the first round. Then he will have a great chance to be first in line,” the MMA News specialist quotes.

Let us remind you that the Brazilian and the Armenian will meet on April 13 at the UFC 300 tournament in Las Vegas.
