UFC lightweight No. 4 Arman Tsarukyan revealed how he reacted to the announcement of a fight with former division champion Charles Oliveira.
"Everyone knows that I or Oliveira will fight Islam Makhachev. This is a fight for the status of the main challenger, one of us will fight for the belt, there is no doubt about it.
How did I react to the organization of the fight with Charles? It was early morning, five in the morning I think, I saw Dana White's official video of me fighting Charles Oliveira and I was very excited, I couldn't even sleep. Immediately after I went to the gym and started training," Tsarukyan said in an interview with the YouTube channel Morning Kombat.
Recall that Oliveira and Tsarukyan will fight on April 13 at UFC 300 in Las Vegas.
