UFC lightweight champion coach Islam Makhacheva Javier Mendez answered a question about his ward's potential rematch with Arman Tsarukyan.

"Let's see. After all, Islam misses the fewest punches in the lightweight division. I just think that now is not the time to talk about their fight. Therefore, if we talk now, it will be about a fight against Oliveira or Gaethje. We’ll talk about the fight with Tsarukyan when we have a contract on the table. So far, nothing has been heard about this,” the Sportskeeda specialist quotes.

Let us remind you that the first meeting between Makhachev and Tsarukyan took place in April 2019 and ended with the victory of Islam by unanimous decision of the judges.
