UFC lightweight number four Arman Tsarukyan announced his intention to get a rematch with lightweight division champion Islam Makhachev after his fight with Charles Oliveira.
The fight between Oliveira and Tsarukyan will take place on April 14 in Las Vegas, USA, as part of the UFC 300 event.
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.
