UFC rated Armenian lightweight Arman Tsarukyan named the key to defeating the division champion Islam Makhachev.
āAgainst Islam you must go out and fight. YouĀ have to fight dirty. You need to go forward, push, hit, put pressure. Don't let him push you and push you against the cage.
Islam can easily move his opponent near the cage. But in the center of the octagon he is not so good. In his last fight against Volkanovski, he couldnāt get a takedown because he was in the center of the Octagon,ā Tsarukyan said in an interview with Middle Easy.
Let us remember that in April 2019, Tsarukyan lost to Makhachev by unanimous decision.
