Javi Clement, the coach of UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria, is confident that his pupil will knock out Arman Tsarukyan.

“Arman is a guy who is desperately trying to get a fight against Topuria. However, Tsarukyan made several mistakes in the UFC, and Dana is making him pay for it. Arman gradually is reclaiming his contender spot. The idea of Topuria fighting Tsarukyan sounds enticing, and we do not exclude this match. In fact, we would like to fight him.

Although I don't see any strength in Arman that could allow him to defeat Ilia. Topuria would really drain him mentally. He will try to beat Ilia, but it won't work for him. This is MMA, not wrestling. Here you get hit. Arman is not on Ilia's level. Will we see Topuria knock out Tsarukyan? Undoubtedly,” says Clement on the portal Abc.es.
