Tsarukyan: "After beating Oliveira, I will be the number one contender"

Dmitriy Kel April 9, 2024, 1:30 a.m.

UFC Armenian lightweight Arman Tsarukyan expressed confidence that a win over former division champion Charles Oliveira would make him a top contender for the belt.

"When I beat Charles Oliveira, I will definitely become the number one contender. I'm sure everyone wants to see a rematch between me and Islam because the first fight was so close. The rematch between Oliveira and Makhachev is not that interesting because Islam beat him with ease. Me, he couldn't beat me that easily. The next fight will probably be similar, but only the winner will be me," Tsarukyan said on the air of The MMA Hour show.

Recall, Oliveira and Tsarukyan will fight on April 13 at the UFC 300 show in Las Vegas.
