Arman Tsarukyan has returned fire at Islam Makhachev in response to the champ recently accusing “Ahalkalakets” of ducking him.
That’s just not truth. The truth is that you want to fight me on short notice to have an extra advantage. It won’t happen again though. When was the last time you fought 2 times in 6 weeks?When asked about Tsarukyan declining the shot, Makhachev claimed he was already expecting it as the Armenian-Russian has turned him down multiple times in the past.
“I'm not surprised because this guy talk about rematch all his life, but I don’t remember, this is maybe the 3rd or 4th time UFC give him a chance to fight me and he said no,” Makhachev told. “The UFC told me ‘We give you opponent after UFC 300’ but in my opinion, I know if Arman beat Oliveira he never take this fight.”
Tsarukyan suffered a unanimous decision loss against Makhachev in his short-notice UFC debut in 2019, when he gave the Dagestani a run for his money. Responding to Makhachev’s comments, Tsarukyan has accused the champ of insisting on a short-notice matchup in order to have an unfair advantage.. “The truth is that you want to fight me on short notice to have an extra advantage. It won’t happen again though.
