The rematch between the Dagestani and Armenian will be the main event of UFC 311, which takes place on the night of January 19 in Los Angeles, USA.
"This is an important rematch for me. I will beat him and become the champion. I have one defeat in the UFC. From Islam. And now it's time to take revenge," Tsarukyan said at the press conference.
Recall that in 2019 Tsarukyan lost to Makhachev by unanimous decision of judges.
