Arman Tsarukyan Faced An Acid Test Of His Credentials Against Islam Makhachev In His UFC Debut. Nearly Five Years Later, He Plans To Dethrone Him And Capture UFC Gold
The moment he left the Octagon after his UFC debut, Arman Tsarukyan knew he’d get the chance to face Islam Makhachev again. Now, after nearly five years, he finally gets his chance.
Tsarukyan will challenge Makhachev for the undisputed UFC lightweight title in the main event of UFC 311 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. It’s a bout, and an opportunity, that Tsarukyan has been eyeing ever since that first fight, and he plans to make amends in the rematch.
