UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev And Arman Tsarukyan will struggle in a head-to-head fight, Russian fighter tells Mikhail Ragozin .
Russian fighter of Armenian origin Tsarukyan defeated the Brazilian Charles Oliveira by split decision at UFC 300 in Las Vegas (USA). Earlier, UFC head Dana White said that the winner of the fight should meet Makhachev, who previously defeated Tsarukyan and Oliveira.
– However, Arman took two turns. The battle was hard and stubborn.
It will be a difficult battle against Islam, it will be difficult for Arman. But if he prepares well, he can create problems for Islam.
It may seem that Islam went through Oliveira easily and Armand had a hard time, so Armand has no chance. But in our sport, fighting can be radically different from fighting. The atmosphere of the fight, the injuries – there are many factors. And I think it will be a tough fight for both,” Ragozin told .
