Promoter Kamil Gadzhiev expressed the opinion on that the Russian fighter Arman Tsarukyan represents the future of the UFC lightweight division, with current champion Islam Makhachev moving up in weight class.
Makhachev defeated American Dustin Poirier on Saturday at UFC 302 in the United States. The Russian won by fifth-round submission and retained the UFC championship belt.
— There was a fight between them (Tsarukyan and Makhachev) at the beginning of Arman, but now Tsarukyan is improving and often invokes Islam. It seems to me that Arman is a star of the future who could become champion when Makhachev moves up to weight. Then Russia would have two champions,” Gadjiev said on the air of the show “Everyone for the match!”
During his MMA career, Makhachev won 26 victories with one defeat, Tsarukyan had 22 victories and three defeats. Arman suffered one of his defeats in his first fight under the auspices of the organization, losing to Makhachev in 2019 by unanimous decision.
