Just today a UFC fighter Dan Hooker announced that the promotion's current lightweight champion Islam Makhachev will do everything possible to avoid a rematch with Arman Tsarukyan. Arman commented on Dan's words, standing up for Islam.
"It is not true. Islam is very confident in itself. He is a real fighter, and if they tell him to fight Armand, he will say: “Okay. Give me Armand." He is confident in himself and believes that he will defeat anyone, just like me,” Tsarukyan said.
