The number one ranked UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan told why former division champion Charles Oliveira is a more dangerous opponent for him than current titleholder Islam Makhachev.
"Oliveira is more dangerous than Makhachev because he knows jiu-jitsu very well, and for me that's very dangerous. If he catches you where he's good, he can choke you out and that's the end of it. That was the case in the first round when he held a tight choke. If I didn't know how to get out of that, I might have fallen asleep and lost the fight.
Also, Charles is very strong, he has a very hard punch. He's knocked out and choked out a lot of opponents. He has the most sub-missions in our division. He is one of the best," MMA Junkie quoted Tsarukyan as saying.
Recall, on April 13 at UFC 300 Tsarukyan defeated Oliveira by split decision.
