Tsarukyan revealed what the date of the title fight with Makhachev depends on

Dmitriy Kel June 6, 2024, 4:44 a.m.

UFC lightweight division number one Arman Tsarukyan revealed when his bout with champion Islam Makhachev could take place.

"Our fight has not been confirmed yet. I think the UFC wants to wait until the fight between Edwards and Muhammad takes place. And after that they will decide where and when our fight will take place.

Right now, the UFC has a problem with the main event fight in Abu Dhabi in October. If Chimaev beats Whittaker, he can headline the Abu Dhabi tournament and Makhachev and I will fight in New York at Madison Square Garden in November. If Hamzat loses, we will probably fight in October. Because the promotion needs a Muslim fighter in Abu Dhabi," Tsarukyan said on The MMA Hour show.
