Tsarukyan: "I can easily beat Makhachev"

Russian lightweight UFC Arman Tsarukyan sure that his compatriot Islam Makhachev will become a champion, but will lose the title in a rematch with him.

“I know that one day we will fight Islam again, and I am sure that I will beat him with ease. The second time I won't lose to him. He is really good and a cut above the tops of the division. He will become a champion, and I will take the belt from him.

I think Oliveira will beat Gaethje, but he won't be able to beat Makhachev. Islam can beat both of them, but most likely he will fight Oliveira,” Tsarukyan said in an interview with The Schmo.

Recall that in April 2019, Makhachev defeated Tsarukyan by unanimous decision.
