"It has to be done." Dariush spoke out about Makhachev's rematch with Tsarukyan

"This fight makes the most sense right now. This fight needs to be made. I know it's not the next fight for Islam. But Arman has obviously become the number one contender. I think it's going to be a tough fight for Makhachev. I still consider Islam the favorite. I don't know how interesting this fight is to the public, but it should definitely be held," said Dariush in an interview with Helen Yee Sports.

It should be reminded that in the first fight Islam Makhachev won by unanimous decision of judges against Arman Tsarukyan.
