Tsarukyan needs high-profile fights and he “runs over” the top

Initially, Arman Tsarukyan positioned himself as a fighter who lost to the current champion Islam Makhachev with a not very devastating judicial decision. After the defeat from Mateusz Gamrot, it became clear that it was too early to talk about his championship ambitions. In the last fight, he defeated Damir Ismagulov, who is one of the most boring UFC lightweights in the history of the promotion, by unanimous decision. Interest in Armand drops significantly. Now he has decided to challenge former Bellator champion Michael Chandler to the fight:

Hey Michael Chandler, it’s time to defend your place in the rankings! Lowest fighting IQ in the division against the younger generation. I don’t see you at the top in the end,” said Arman Tsarukyan on social networks.

All in all, it doesn’t sound like much… Arman Tsarukyan is not even in the top 10 UFC lightweights, and Michael Chandler is in fourth place.

Chandler is a fighter who shows very spectacular fights while working in the stand. Arman, on the other hand, prefers to fight, but he is not particularly friendly with grappling and does not finish the fights ahead of schedule. It is likely that in the next fight Chandler will be greeted by Conor McGregor, and Arman Tsarukyan will fight with a fighter who is next to him in the UFC lightweight rankings.
