UFC lightweightArman Tsarukian explained why he hugged Charles Oliveira before every round.
"I like the guy. Charles is a very good person. And with that gesture we showed that we respect each other. Even though we said different shit before the fight. Oliveira is one of the most respectful guys. But it's a sport, it's not war. You just go out there and do what you know how to do. And it doesn't matter if you like your opponent or not. You just go out there and do your job. I want to knock out my opponent, even if he's a good, respectful guy," Tsarukyan said in an interview with The MMA Hour.
Recall, Tsarukyan defeated Oliveira by split decision of judges at the UFC 300 anniversary event.
