UFC lightweight division No. 1 Arman Tsarukyan admitted that he didn't immediately start thinking about a possible championship in the promotion.

"When I signed in the UFC, I didn't think about the title, I dreamed of being in the top 15. But after the first win, I wanted to be champion and I started thinking about it. And when Islam took the title, I said I want to fight Islam for the title. So, this is both a rematch and a title fight," Tsarukyan told ESPN.
