Tsarukyan: "If Khabib was pushing me, I would have fought for the title a long time ago"

"The opposition that Islam had up to its waist and that I have now passed are two different things. You can't forget who is behind Islam's back - and who is behind my back. If I was pushed by Khabib Nurmagomedov, I would also already after Beneil Dariush for the title fight," - said the fighter.

Recall that on April 14, within the framework of the 300th anniversary UFC tournament Arman Tsarukyan won a split decision of judges against former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira.
