Tsarukyan: “The best UFC lightweight is me, not Makhachev”

Russian lightweight UFC Arman Tsarukyan explained why he considers himself the strongest fighter in his division.

"Makhachev? I don't consider him the best lightweight. I know that the best fighter in the division is me. I'm younger, my skills are better. When we fought him for the first time, I still didn't have enough experience. It was my UFC debut. I train very hard and improve my skills every day.

If we meet Makhachev again, I will show everyone who is the best lightweight. If, after the fight with Gamrot, the promotion gives me such an opportunity, I will accept the fight with Islam, ”Tsarukyan said in an interview with ESPN.

Recall that on the night of June 26 at UFC on ESPN 38 in Las Vegas, Tsarukyan will fight against Mateusz Gamrot.
