The Armenian judge chose Oliveira over Tsarukyan

Arman Tsarukyan commented on the fact that he defeated Charles Oliveira by a split decision of the judges. According to Arman, the judge who gave his preference to the Brazilian is from Armenia himself.

"I just watched the third round of the fight. And I'm wondering why one of the judges gave this round to Oliveira. Why doesn't anyone ask this referee any questions? He could have ruined my career! And guess what, that referee is Armenian! That's crazy! He's got an Armenian flag on social media, he's got an Armenian last name. And you're giving the round to Oliveira?! If you were Brazilian, I'd understand. I want to hear his comment on this. I'm going to write him, talk to him. I have a friend who knows him," Tsarukyan told The MMA Hour.
