How Can a Mere Talker Be Number One? Arman Tsarukyan Responds to Makhachev

“Islam says that I only know how to talk. How can a mere talker be number one? It turns out that I not only talk but also prove it with my actions. I became number one and showed the world that I am the main contender for the title,” said Armenian fighter Arman Tsarukyan, who competes in the UFC lightweight category, responding to the criticism from reigning champion Islam Makhachev.

“My next fight will be for the title only,” Tsarukyan stated in an interview on Artyom Tarasov's YouTube channel.
