Cormier: "There is no point in a rematch between Makhachev and Tsarukyan"

Dmitriy Kel April 9, 2024, 2:55 p.m.

Famed American mixed martial arts veteran Daniel Cormier explained why UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev should not rematch Arman Tsarukyan.

"A fight between Islam and Arman will bring very little money, but it's the most competitive fight. Tsarukyan has such a style that he can compete well with Makhachev. I believe that Arman is the most difficult opponent for Islam, but not the most favorable. This fight doesn't make much sense. Islam needs something more than that. Perhaps Tsarukian will get a title shot by defeating Oliveira. But he will definitely not bring Islam as much money as a confrontation with Gatji or Porier", - said Cormier on his YouTube channel.

Recall, in 2019, Makhachev defeated Tsarukyan by unanimous decision of the judges.
