Trainer of top UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan Marcos DaMatta spoke out about the fact that the next opponent of the promotion champion in this weight Islam Makhacheva will become Justin Gaethje, and not his ward. According to the expert, it will be enough for Armand to win against Oliveira early to advance Gaethje in the title race.
“If we finish Charles or even just win, I think the UFC will never give a title shot to Justin. He can’t get the opportunity to fight for the belt before Armand,” DaMatta said.
Let us remind you that the confrontation between Tsarukyan and Oliveira is scheduled for April 14.
