Makhachev's coach assessed Tsarukyan's chances of getting a rematch with Islam

Dmitriy Kel Dec. 6, 2023, 4:41 p.m.

Mentor of the UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhacheva Javier Mendez expressed the opinion that Arman Tsarukyan still inferior in the challenger race Justin Gaethje And Charles Oliveira.

Let us remind you that last weekend Tsarukyan knocked out Beneil Dariush in the first round and rose to fourth place in the ranking of the best UFC lightweights.

“Tsarukyan won an impressive victory over Dariush. He has a history with Makhachev, their fight was very difficult for Islam, and the UFC, being a marketing machine, is always looking for intriguing fights. But there are too many people in the title queue ahead of Tsarukyan.

To be honest, I think Islam's next opponent will be Oliveira or Gaethje. Tsarukyan will have to fight one more time. Not because he has to, but because he himself doesn’t want to be idle,” the MMA News specialist quotes.
