Tsarukyan on Topuria: "He knew that Oliveira is the best opponent for him"

Alexandr Ormanji July 5, 2025, 10:01 a.m.

Arman Tsarukyan spoke about Ilia Topuria’s victory over Charles Oliveira.

“Listen, Ilia trains a lot, hits hard, and believes in himself. That’s why he is so confident in himself, which is why he celebrated the victory a day before the fight. He knew he would knock out Oliveira. Oliveira didn’t have many chances. He couldn’t take Topuria down and outstrike him. Charles has good grappling, but that’s about it. Topuria knew that this is the best opponent for him,” said Tsarukyan in an interview with ESPN.
