Arman Tsarukyan 's manager Sayat Abdrakhmanov spoke out about a possible rematch between his ward and current UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev.
"It all depends on what date Islam's title defense will be put on. The talk that Islam's next opponent could be Dustin Puryear is only coming from Makhachev's team. I haven't particularly heard anyone else promoting this idea. Arman has an important fight with Oliveira ahead of him, he needs to win it and thereby secure his place as the main challenger," said the functionary.
Arman Tsarukyan will have his next fight against former UFC champion Charles Oliveira. Their fight will take place on the night of April 14 at the 300th anniversary tournament of the organization.
