Arman Tsarukyan (23-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) has confidently stated that he would defeat a prime Khabib Nurmagomedov, who retired undefeated as the UFC lightweight champion in 2021. In an interview, Tsarukyan expressed that he believes the fight would likely go to a decision, attributing his potential victory to his more well-rounded skill set compared to Nurmagomedov. Despite not yet competing for the UFC lightweight title, Tsarukyan was scheduled to fight Islam Makhachev for the title at UFC 311 but withdrew just a day before the match. He has since made a strong comeback by submitting Dan Hooker at UFC Fight Night 265. Interestingly, Tsarukyan also regards Makhachev, Nurmagomedov's protege and current UFC welterweight champion, as a superior fighter, citing Makhachev's well-rounded abilities and the mentorship of Nurmagomedov.
