Arman Tsarukyan, the number one ranked lightweight in the UFC, told how to beat the organization's current lightweight champion Islam Makhachev. According to Tsarukyan, Makhachev must be fought in the standup.
"We have to go out and fight, interrupt him in the standup. You have to put the right gameplan and beat him. That's it. Is there any chance to outscore Makhachev in wrestling? I already did. I tried to move him, spent a lot of energy on it, although I was much better in the stand-up. There is no point in it," said the fighter.
Tsarukyan had his last fight on April 14. He won a split decision over former promotion's lightweight champion Charles Oliveira at the UFC 300 anniversary event
