Tsarukyan made his promotional debut in April 2019, facing Makhachev on short notice. Despite losing by unanimous decision, Tsarukyan was able to establish himself as a top fighter.
Makhachev also promised to have a second fight with his compatriot.
“I think Armand should thank me for the first fight. I wouldn’t call it an even fight, even though a lot of people say that. I won at every turn. Armand still demands revenge. He had many opportunities to come on as a substitute. I know before UFC 302 he was offered a fight with me. In any case, our revenge is inevitable and we will settle it soon,” Makhachev quotes MMA Mania.
