Tsarukyan: “I don’t think that Makhachev will be given a championship fight”

Dmitriy Kel Feb. 25, 2022, 1:34 p.m.

Lightweight UFC Arman Tsarukyan believes that Islam Makhachev will not receive a title fight if he defeats Bobby Green.

“A little insulting, I wanted to watch the fight between Makhachev and Dariush. It would be a competitive fight. Now the opposition to Islam is no longer the same. Green has a small chance to catch on somewhere, but almost none.

I think that Makhachev will not be given a championship fight after the fight with Green, because Bobby is not even in the top 15. Yes, Islam has a long winning streak, but the UFC will decide. After all, Makhachev did not defeat anyone from the top 5, ”said Tsarukyan.
