Arman Tsarukyan
They need new faces. So if I win, definitely I'm going to be contender No. 1. I think everybody wants to see the rematch, me and Islam, because it was so close. Not the Oliveira and Islam rematch, because Islam beat him easy, but he couldn't beat me easy. This fight, Dana White said, this is a contender fight.
Tsarukyan, 27, last stepped into the octagon in December 2023 at UFC on ESPN 52, defeating Beneil Dariush by first-round knockout. He has 21 wins and three losses on his record.
