Arman Tsarukyan confirms plans to only target ‘Money fights’ if he beats Islam Makhachev at UFC 311

Just days out from his premiere flagship headliner at UFC 311, Arman Tsarukyan has boldly claimed if he beats former-foe, Islam Makhachev — he will only entertain “business” and money fights that bring him the biggest and most lucrative paydays in the sport.

Tsarukyan, the current number one ranked lightweight challenger, will headline the promotion’s planned return to Inglewood in a re-run against current champion, Makhachev — attempting to avenge a five-year-old loss to the Russian standout.
