Surging number one ranked lightweight contender, Arman Tsarukyan has claimed that talks have been held regarding a potential end-of-year rematch with undisputed champion, Islam Makhachev — with the two failing to land on an October UFC 308 card to battle once more.
Tsarukyan, the current number one ranked divisional contender, most recently featured on the main card of UFC 300 back in April, landing a controversial split decision win over former undisputed champion, Charles Oliveira over the course of three rounds.
Earning himself a title rematch with Makhachev off the back of his win, Armenian contender, Tsarukyan saw a targeted rematch with the former ruled from a UFC 308 card in Abu Dhabi, UAE later this annum — with the Russian dealing with an unspecified arm injury.
