Islam Makhachev successfully defended his championship and retained his lightweight crown at UFC 302. Arman Tsarukyan is next in line to face Islam Makhachev for the lightweight title.
Charles Oliveira, while talking to MMA Fighting, predicted the outcome of the showdown between Islam Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan, expressing that Tsarukyan would be an easy fight for the undisputed UFC champion Islam Makhachev.
Charles Oliveira stated: "Arman is a guy that takes you down and holds you there the entire time. No way he beats Islam. It's not a fight he can win. Of course, I've just said this, and I can't backtrack. MMA is unpredictable, but I think Islam is way more experienced, has more focus, more hunger, and is much stronger than Arman."
