Arman Tsarukyan is Confident in His Victory

This will be both a rematch and a title fight. This was stated by Arman Tsarukyan, the number one ranked fighter in the UFC lightweight category (70 kg) representing Armenia, in an interview with CBS Sports.

"This is the best fight I can have. As they say, killing two birds with one stone, as it will be both a rematch and a title fight," he said.

He expressed no doubts about his victory against current champion Islam Makhachev, assuring that he will not disappoint his fans.

It is worth noting that the rematch between Tsarukyan and Makhachev will take place on January 18, 2025, at the UFC 311 event. Their first fight ended in a victory for Makhachev, which took place in April 2019 in Saint Petersburg.
