Russian UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan spoke out about former UFC lightweight title challenger Michael Chandler.
Arman Tsarukyan for Red Corner MMA
Chandler is not a threat. He charges like a bull in rounds one and two. If you watch his fight with Gaethje, he fought like a dummy. You’re a wrestler. Why are you fighting in stand-up with him? You pick him up, set him down, and don’t even get the position. Why did you even pick him up? No logic. He’s old and it’s time to retire.
Tsarukyan had his last fight against Kazakhstan's Damir Ismagulov on the night of December 18 at UFC Fight Night 216. In this fight Arman won by unanimous decision of the judges. He has 19 wins and three losses under his belt.
The last time Chandler faced his countryman Dustin Poirier in the UFC 281 in November of this year. That fight ended in a third-round choke loss to Michael. He has 23 wins and eight losses on his record.
