American lightweight Michael Chandler expressed the opinion that the Russian Islam Makhachev will confidently defeat his compatriot Arman Tsarukyan .
Makhachev defended his championship belt for the third time in June by defeating American Dustin Poirier. The 32-year-old Russian has 26 victories and one defeat in mixed martial arts. Tsarukyan (22-3) is ranked number one in the lightweight division. The fight could take place in January 2025.
— As I said before, a happy fighter is a dangerous fighter. Arman is doing his job, so I wish him good luck. “I think Islam will just destroy him, but at least he has good hair,” Chandler was quoted as saying by the New York Post.
