Arman Tsarukyan impressed the world of mixed martial arts with his extraordinary performance at UFC 300 against former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira. Tsarukyan won the match against Do Brox via slip decision. Now, he is the number one contender for UFC lightweight champion and will face the winner of Islam Makhachev vs Dustin Poirier at UFC 302. 

Arman Tsarukyan was initially offered a match against Islam Makhachev after he defeated Charles Oliveira at UFC 300 for UFC 302. Still, Arman rejected the offer as he needed time to recover and prepare an entire camp for Islam Makhahchev. 

A few days back, Michael Chandler, who will face returning Conor McGregor at UFC 303 in the main event, criticized Arman for rejecting a championship fight against Islam Makhachev and claimed the sport moves so fast. 

Arman did not like Michael Chandler's comment, and he commented back and called him on Twitter, "I don't expect you to understand Michael Chandler. We are not on the same level. I am here to be the champ. You are just waiting for a paycheck. I also don't understand why you waited for Conor to fight for 2 years, you could've lost 4 exciting fights during that time."

Arman Tsarukyan has taken another shot at Michael Chandler and called him a round fighter while he was on Bisping's show, "It's good to watch Chandler's fights, but he always loses. He's a one-round fighter; if you can go with him in the second round, you will surely win. He's exciting to watch, but he's not an intelligent fighter. He does like crazy things."
