After defeating Charles Oliveira at UFC 300 in Las Vegas, Tsarukyan, 27, became the mandatory challenger for Islam Makhachev’s lightweight championship belt.

— How do you imagine victory over Islam Makhachev?
“Islam is truly a fighter of the highest level, which is at its peak today. But he’s human and we’ve seen him lose. That is, there is no need to make it a monster that cannot be defeated in any way.
— How do you imagine sparring partners? Are these people with a strong skill, like takedowns or chokes, or just MMA fighters of the highest class possible?
“We will leave that to the discretion of the technical staff.” At a minimum, you need southpaws who wrestle well, have good control, and hook from the stance. They have a high level of protection and operate quite conservatively. You will have to select sparring partners, knowing that you will not find a person of this level. Rather, we will need someone who can cause problems in all areas,” Abdrakhmanov told .
