Makhachev commented on Tsarukyan's refusal to fight in June

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev expressed his opinion that Arman Tsarukyan is not really burning to have a rematch with him.

"I'm not surprised that Arman didn't agree to fight in June. He talks about a rematch all the time, but he's been given a chance to fight me for, I think, the third time. And he's said no every time. So there's no surprise here.

I was told right away that my opponent will be determined after UFC 300. But Arman in any case would not agree," - said Makhachev in an interview with the New York Post.

Recall that on June 1 at UFC 302 in Newark, USA, Makhachev will fight Justin Gaethje.
