Arman Tsarukyan, former UFC lightweight title contender, believes that only he and Ilia Topuria can pose a real challenge to the current champion in this division, Islam Makhachev.
“This is fair. Topuria is moving up in weight; he is the champion. I think it would be an interesting fight. Topuria can cause him problems. Topuria, I am the only one in this weight class at the moment who can give a good fight to Islam. Gaethje is just easy money for Islam. He has already beaten Oliveira.”
