Competition in the UFC lightweight division continues to heat up. Arman Sarukyan has openly declared that he views himself as the next primary contender for a title fight.
The experienced fighter outlined his plans and perspective on the situation during an interview with The Ariel Helwani Show. In his view, a title opportunity is expected to arise in the near future. “If Ilia Topuria does not want to move up to a higher weight class, he will be forced to fight me. There will be no rematch between Charles Oliveira and Topuria, so it is my turn,” Sarukyan said.
The fighter did not hide that he is relying on his current form and results. He has secured 23 victories in professional MMA, finishing 15 of them ahead of time. Having recorded only 3 losses demonstrates his high level of consistency.
Arman Sarukyan believes that the current situation in the division creates a significant opportunity for him. Potential bouts between opponents and shifts across weight classes could serve to bring him closer to the championship.
In short, a new title scenario is taking shape in the UFC lightweight division. All eyes are now focused on whether Sarukyan will indeed receive his shot at the title.
