Manager of the AMC Fight Nights League Kamil Gadjiev told he was weighing the chances Arman Tsarukyan in a possible fight against Islam Makhacheva like the courts.
Russian fighter of Armenian origin Tsarukyan defeated Brazilian Charles Oliveira at the UFC 300 tournament in Las Vegas (USA) and became the official contender for the UFC lightweight champion belt belonging to Makhachev. Immediately after the tournament, UFC President Dana White announced that Makhachev would hold his next belt defense with Dustin Poirier . Earlier, assuming such a development of events, Tsarukyan himself said in an interview with that he was ready to wait for Makhachev to defend his belt and meet the winner of the title fight.
— In my league, Islam would fight Arman Tsarukyan, if we’re talking about guys who are at lightweight. But I would do anything for him to fight Leon Edwards for two belts. Poirier- no. I have said many times that the opponents Khabib fought with are no longer interesting against Islam. The feeling that victory is already here will not leave us. Consequently, Poirier and Gaethje are no longer mentioned.
And a rematch with Tsarukyan would be special, because we know it was Armand’s first fight in the UFC, and he fought it very well. Would Armand have had his chance? There are always chances, but I consider them low, because it seems to me that it would be difficult to find the keys to Islam Arman. Islam is a virtually perfect lightweight fighter today. Tall, active, with good wrestling, I don’t see any reason why he could lose,” Gadzhiev told .
Tsarukyan lost to Makhachev in April 2019 in his UFC debut.
