Caused by Michael chandler after refuse to fight for the lightweight belt (up to 70,3kg) against Islam Makhachev, Arman Tsarukyan responded the North American categorically. The executioner of Charles of the Bronx No. UFC 300 explained why he rejected an immediate fight with the Russian star. The statement was made via publication on 'X', old 'Twitter'.
“I didn’t expect you to understand, Michael chandler. We are not on the same level. I'm here to be champion and you just wait for a check. I also don't understand why you waited two years to fight Conor (McGregor). You could have had four exciting fights in this period,” wrote Tsarukyan.
