Pitted with the student of Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 311 next month, Arman Tsarukyan claims the protege that is Islam Makhachev has yet to surpass the master in the form of the former — describing the Hall of Fame inductee as the greatest fighter to ever grace the 155lbs division in mixed martial arts.
Tsarukyan, the current number one ranked lightweight challenger, will get his second crack at Russian star, Makhachev next month in California — taking on the current pound-for-pound number one — this time for gold, in a rematch of their first pairing five years ago.
