Arman Tsarukyan, the UFC lightweight title challenger, responded to a question about whether he would be mentally tough going into a rematch with Islam Makhachev, the organization's featherweight champion.
"No, not at all. It's morally hard to fight a close friend or relative. As far as the others - no difference at all. Pavlovic and Volkov trained together, know each other well, are friends. We have a history of confrontation. Let's see who will be better this time," Tsarukyan said.
Earlier Tsarukyan said that it is not necessary to make a superhero and invincible fighter out of Makhachev, remember that Islam has already lost.
