One of the mentors of Arman Tsarukyan at 'American Top Team'(ATT), Marcos DaMatta, ‘Parrumpinha’, analyzed his pupil’s commitment to Charles of the Bronx No. UFC 300. Focused on the clash that defines the next challenger for the lightweight title (up to 70,3kg), the coach treated the challenge with respect and assured that he saw the Brazilian star as a more dangerous rival than the champion of the category, Islam makhachev.

“We haven’t managed to get a title shot yet, but we have a legend. In my opinion, a more dangerous opponent than Islam (Makhachev), because he presents risks in all areas. He has good striking and incredible jiu-jitsu. In my opinion, he is the best finisher in the history of the UFC”, said ‘Parrumpinha’, in an interview with ‘MMA Junkie'.
