With the hard duty of preparing Arman Tsarukyan for one of the biggest challenges of his career, Marcos DaMatta, ‘Parrumpinha’, has a bold goal for the superfight between his pupil and Charles of the Bronx. In an interview with 'MMA Junkie’, the coach admitted that the student needs to put on a show against the Brazilian star and that a triumph on the fast track would be essential to the plan.

“We want victory in the fast lane to prove our arguments. So that there is no doubt about who the number one challenger is. (Justin) Gaethje already lost to Charles. If we can beat Charles in the fast lane, or even just beat him, they won’t be able to give Gaethje the title shot before Arman,” he declared.

Promising for the future of the lightweight division (up to 70,3kg.), Tsarukyan reached the top 5 of the group recently. To assume the prominent position, the fighter ran over Beneil Dariush.

Former group champion, Do Bronx takes the risk of having one more confrontation before the dream rematch against the champion Islam makhachev. Today, the Brazilian occupies the first position in the category, behind only the Russian.

The long-awaited meeting between Charles de Tsarukyan takes place on November 13, in Las Vegas. Both will be highlighted in the history UFC 300.
