Arman Tsarukyan, the number two ranked lightweight in the UFC, responded to the question of who can challenge him in the promotion.

“Who can challenge me? Right now, no one. There are no such fighters in lightweight. Nothing to worry about. There was Islam Makhachev, he moved up to another weight class. He doesn't waste energy on grappling, very calm,” Tsarukyan said on Demetrius Johnson's podcast.
