UFC lightweight division number four Arman Tsarukyan spoke about his reaction to the scheduling of a fight against former division champion Charles Oliveira.

The fight between the Armenian and the Brazilian will be part of the UFC 300 anniversary tournament, which will take place on the night of April 14 in Las Vegas, USA.

"It's like a dream fight. Charles was the champion, so for me it's like a fight for the championship belt. Plus it's going to be a challenger fight. I was very excited, very happy. I couldn't even sleep for a few days because of this news," Tsarukyan said on the air of The MMA Hour show.
