“You know, my goal is a rematch with Islam Makhachev. Because my first UFC fight was against him. I gave him the toughest fight in the UFC. I know that I only need one big fight and I will get the opportunity to fight for the title. So I hope 2023 will be my year,” said the fighter.
The confrontation between Tsarukyan and Ismagulov took place within the framework of UFC Fight Night 216, ending with Arman's victory by unanimous decision.
