Tsarukyan awaiting next UFC opponent, with Oliveira and Lopes in the mix

Arman Tsarukyan has provided an update on his next UFC appearance, revealing that he expects the promotion to offer him one of two potential matchups: a rematch with Charles Oliveira or a fight against Diego Lopes. Should the UFC opt for the Oliveira rematch, Tsarukyan could also get the opportunity to compete for the BMF title. Tsarukyan defeated Oliveira by split decision at UFC 300 in April 2024. “I have a meeting with the UFC on Monday, and they’ll lay out all the options for me,” Tsarukyan told Sport24 reporter Vladimir Kolos. “But I don’t think Justin will fight this year, and I don’t want to sit around waiting for someone. “I’ll most likely take a fight with somebody else. Who could it be? Probably Oliveira, yes. Lopes could also be an option.” Photo: Arman Tsarukyan’s social media
