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

Dmitriy Kel June 23, 2022, 2:27 p.m.

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.
