Arman Tsarukyan is eager to see Max Holloway face Charles Oliveira at UFC 326, scheduled for March 7 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The event will feature Oliveira defending his BMF Championship belt in a highly anticipated rematch, marking their first encounter in 2015 which ended abruptly due to an injury.
Tsarukyan Favors Oliveira to Win Against Holloway
According to a video shared on Tsarukyan’s Telegram account and reported by MMA DropZone, Tsarukyan expressed a clear preference for Oliveira as the likely winner in the upcoming fight. He acknowledged Oliveira’s unpredictable nature but remains confident in his potential to prevail.
Oliveira sometimes fights so bad, but sometimes he is unreal,
Tsarukyan said.
You never know with him, but I still lean towards Oliveira winning.
Tsarukyan Eyes Another Bout to Prove His Superiority
Tsarukyan revealed his desire for a rematch with Oliveira, emphasizing that he wants to demonstrate to MMA fans that he is the superior lightweight by finishing the fight decisively. Recalling past opinions about their previous match, Tsarukyan believes he clearly won the earlier fight and aims to eliminate any doubts with a convincing victory.
We have a history. We can rematch. People say I won via split decision. I think I won convincingly. I won all rounds. I need to finish him and show people that my victory wasn’t an accident. Even two years ago, I was a level above him.
Tsarukyan said.
Future Prospects for Tsarukyan in the Lightweight Division
Following his submission win over Dan Hooker at UFC Qatar, Tsarukyan is widely regarded as deserving of a lightweight title opportunity. However, he must wait for the unification bout between the current champion Ilia Topuria and interim titleholder Justin Gaethje before a title shot becomes available. The timeline for Tsarukyan’s involvement in the lightweight championship scene remains uncertain, with the UFC management yet to clarify their plans.
What to Expect from UFC 326’s Main Event
The upcoming battle between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira is stirring intense interest among MMA fans who are eager to see if the fighters can live up to the hype surrounding the rematch. The clash is expected to be closely contested and could have major implications for the lightweight division’s future dynamics.
