Arman Tsarukyan is excited to have his idol Khabib Nurmagomedov in the opposite corner at UFC 311.
Tsarukyan challenges Nurmagomedov’s teammate, Islam Makhachev, for the lightweight title in the main event at UFC 311 on Jan. 18 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. “Ahalkalkets” previously suffered a hard-fought unanimous decision loss against Makhachev in his UFC debut back in 2019.
While Nurmagomedov was in attendance for the fight, he wasn’t cornering Makhachev back then. However, the lightweight GOAT contender will be in Makhachev’s corner for his upcoming defense against Tsarukyan at UFC 311.
