Arman Tsarukyan Unfazed by Islam Makhachev Injury, Ready to Face Top 5 Lightweights for Interim Belt
But as of now, that promise looks likely to be broken. In a recent update, coach Javier Mendez detailed that Makhachev might be out for the entirety of 2024 and not return until early 2025.
On the flip side, Arman Tsarukyan also had his own complications. While making his entrance during UFC 300, Tsarukyan got into a physical tussle with a fan. Since such an act went against the UFC rules, the Armenian was slapped with a nine-month ban.
This further created confusion as to whether Tsarukyan would face Makhachev in October. As of now, with the champion out of the picture, it remains to be seen whether an interim championship bout is scheduled or whether ‘Ahalkalakets’ will have to wait until 2025 to get his shot at lightweight gold.
