Arman Tsarukyan, a top UFC lightweight, spoke out about a rematch with the organization's champion in the division, Islam Makhachev.
"It's rare very rare. If I don't see him, I don't remember him. In principle, I don't remember the fights I lost. We have to go out and fight, interrupt him on the counter. You have to put the right game plan and beat him. That's it. I already tried that. I tried to move him, spent a lot of energy on it, even though I was much better in the standup. There's no point. It's better not to think of anything, to try to beat him in the stand-up. Of course, you have to show that you're going to go through on the feet. But even if you do, it's better to let him go, so as not to lose strength. The preparation is all the same. It's the people in their heads who have made up in their heads that Islam is special. The same person, and they made him an undefeated champion. Although he lost too, he was knocked out too. We are all human beings, we can all lose. There is no need to make an undefeated superhero out of Makhachev...," Tsarukyan said.
