Top Armenian lightweight Arman Tsarukyan summed up the results of the battle with Beneil Dariush, which took place in the main event of UFC on ESPN 52 in Austin, USA.

Let us remind you that Tsarukyan scored a knockout in the first round.

“This is the best scenario I’ve thought of. I understood that I needed to make a big statement, knock him out in the first round, after which I could ask for a title shot.

If I had won a close decision against Dariush, people would have said: “Oliveira knocked him out, how can you want a fight for the belt?” I did it faster than Charles, and he already had a chance. Just like everyone else from the top 5. Give me a fight,” Tsarukyan said in an interview with ESPN.
