Russian fighter Arman Tsarukyan his fights confirm his ambitions, he must fight with one of the members of the trinity – Islam Makhachev , Justin Gaethje , Charles Oliveira the ASA heavyweight champion told Evgeny Goncharov .
At the UFC tournament in Austin this weekend, Tsarukyan knocked out Beneil Dariush in the second minute, whom Makhachev could have faced before. Makhachev currently holds the championship belt, having made two defenses in 2023 against Alex Volkanovski. Tsarukyan lost to Makhachev in his UFC debut in 2019, but went on to win eight out of nine fights. Oliveira (first place in the lightweight rankings), whom the Russian beat ahead of schedule in October 2022, is considered Makhachev’s next opponent. Gaethje ranks second in the UFC. Dariush was studying in the fourth grade and Tsarukyan was in the eighth grade.
— Great victory of Tsarukyan, powerful performance. And it’s already worth talking about a rematch with Makhachev. Why not? Arman showed he was ready. Arman is now in the premier lightweight division. Tsarukyan’s level is now that of fights with Oliveira, Gaethje or Makhachev. These are the struggles I see for Tsarukyan. Arman has already proven to everyone that he is a fighter of the highest level. And his ambitions are not just words: he speaks them and implements them. Good game! Cool performance,” Goncharov told .
