Smart not fighting Islam on 6 week notice after a fight like tht you need a break and a full fight camp.. why does ilia tupuiroa get a full rest and a fight camp for the volk fight but arman has to be ready in 5 weeks after a fight with a legend while islam is 100% ready and training which is wrestling his training doesnt change hes gnna wrestle dustin. arman clealy won the fight but it was a hard fight and after being in a full fight camp and a hard fight you need rest good smart af. ilia got a full fight camp after beating josh emmet lol
I couldn't agree any more. I'm angry that we wont get to see it but at the same time im graeful that when they do fight he will be well prepared.
yes, he know his body need to recover
You guys know that they take more abuse during fight camp than he did with Olivera. It’s short notice for both fighters. If anything Arman has an advantage
@@bsar11Camps and coaches and training partners are very specific and strategic to each person they're fighting. It would be absolutely careless to not take a full camp to prep for Islams style.
I disagree he should've took the Islam fight. Ariel even hinted and said change and things happen, he knows how the ufc works. Arman f'd up. He might not fight again until 2025 if he's only relying on Islam.
I don’t see anyone beating Islam before he leaves lw but Arman definitely has the best chance.
Darius, had a chance
@@comesmokewithus he got folded by top 5 contenders
@@lekehoxha6926 it happens. He got caught. Not out matched. He beat gamrot
As a massive islam fan it would be bs if he leaves before 2026
Islam is dodging the comp
I'm Brazilian but I have to say that Tsarukyan seems to be a nice human being
Everyone talks about Charles’ impressive submission attempt in round 1.
Nobody talks about how spectacular it was, for Arman to not tap. But instead, strangle his way out and then snatch a victory eventually.
any other lw would have tapped.
Dude got beaten up by GAMROT people forget lol
@@HYPEMANTV0dude got robbed in that fight
@@galehhambarsoumian619 not really becaus the damage showed on Arman I mean he’s alright but would never beat Islam
@@HYPEMANTV0he knocked gamrot down damage isn’t always just by looking at someone’s face, the judges didn’t see it was a knockdown even though it officially counted afterwards, ultimately robbed him of the fight but even without that knockdown he won
Arman's always in fun technical fights. I can't wait for the Islam rematch.
This is fact, he's both technical and fun, people don't appreciate him enough
Your right hes not as appreciated because he's not all that. Maybe in russia and to grappling fans? Aha. He's overly praised and didn't do enough to beat olivera that night convincingly, draw at most. We all going to see Charles vs islam 2 because it will sell more and it is more exciting. Not Arman and islam. Sorry if that bugs but it's truth. You want to see a full grappling match go watch wrestling or similar stuff. Striking counts more than take downs, in my opinion. Its important to have hands not hold on to someone like dear life.
Glad Pereira is bringing that stricking dominance back. Khabib got everyone shook with grappling in the Ufc. And think islam is unbeatable. Islam is weight bullying in that division he needs to move up.
Arman needs to strike more and execute if he's grappling fool couldn't choke put charles one bit. Sad.
@@GweiloKrreto holding to someone means like Charles holding on to Arman to avoid getting GnP'd? While also making his fans think he's subbing him and stuff, funny shi
ArMan is a great man. Best wishes to him
nothing controversial about this win.
LMAOOO
Nope. He won 2 rounds to 1. Easy decision for the judges.
im a charles fan an this was a clear arman win was still a competitive fight tho i think split decision was correct
@@medicallyenhancedARMAN WON LMAOOOOOO
@@WontHarmYouwatch the end of the 2 rounds dude was saved by Bell x2.
Arman a real one. Amazing soul. Respect.
Yeah I always supported him. The hate and dis respect he gets is nonsense
this dude won me with that axe kick, im a fan now.
i can't believe it landed too. very cool. he's a risk taker which makes for an exciting fighter
That’s the one thing that stands out to me in that fight and the Charles submission attempts
@@dukenukem7043facts. He’s always trying new things and taking risks. Charles got submission attempts because arman wasn’t playing safe. And he still won.
I’m glad to hear Arman didn’t take an immediate fight with Islam - he needs to prioritize his rest and recover, especially since he completed a fight camp focused around Charles Oliveira. There’s no need to rush into a title fight when you’re the #1 contender - and as a fan, I’d rather see him at his best competing against Islam.
That’s our boy 🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲
Who you would support Islam vs Arman
Charles deserves a Rematch
@@KhaderSheriffwe’re Armenian we support Arman
@@AnatolianArmenianwe know why 😂
@@AnatolianArmenian but he said that he is russian (, no respecting Armenian should like arman,
14:40, your welcome
the real champ.
damn you the goat bro
That's why he's the goat!!! the goat
🙏🙏🐐
Stop with the word GOAT
This wasn't a robbery at all, I love Charles but Arman outclassed him 100%
He definitely didn't outclass him. It was a great fight that was close.
@@LC-jq7vncharles had only round 1. 2 and 3 where armens rounds. Not close to me
If you don't know what Outclass means, you have to go do Google search
@@professionalshittalker Close enough that some people thought Charles won, even a judge. That's not being outclassed, that's a good fight.
didint outclass him at all but still a great performance
EXCELLENT FIGHT ARMAN , VERY STRONG MEN ! THK U MEN FOR THIS FIGHT ! SUPPORT FROM FRANCE ALGERIA 🇩🇿🇨🇵
17:48 W manager.
I tought tserukian was a piece of shyte,but i realise he's a respectfull sportsman. Seems to me he's not arrogant at all like some insiders wanted to make us believes he is. I get tserukian now.he's a respectfull fighter,we need more like him.
He’s cool, he’s just speaking in his 3rd language and most his media is fight week when he’s dying from the weight cut. His stuff in Russian and when he’s not cutting he’s pretty chill and funny
you need to stop believing everything in the media, no idea why you haven’t figured out they basically always lie. I’m assuming your double vaxt with three boosters?
There are a lot of things u are taught to believe by ur Govt, if ur from the so called West. Its good to see people are aware of some smalls details from there Mainstream brainwashing sources. Good for U. Hope U see the world as it is. The hypocrisy of the so called west is unbelievable
I am a fan of Arman but you are delusional to think that you beat Charles easily.. Arman deserved to win after escaping 2 submissions attempts. I can’t listen to the fake weasel Ariel…. Welll done Arman ..The reason Charels got the 3 round was the same reason you won the 1 2nd round… no damage but you Charels had you in a submission. More of an advantage position. When you were riding Charels back … you were in control but no damage was done.
He didn't escape the 2nd. He dies in the wild. Saved by the bell.
@@LC-jq7vn You can argue that he got in that position because of the bell. He took risks at the ends of the rounds knowing that the bell would save him. Impressive on Charles for getting those positions though.
escaping submissions is it’s own reward
@@Alan__amiryou’re the only who finally said that, go check Arman vs Joel Alvarez he does the same thing in the jiu jitsu soecialist guard, he sees the time is about to go out and lets loose for the ground and pound because he knows when they grab for the arm bar it’s too late anyway, he did the same against Charles and these delusional idiots think Charles just happened to snatch a sub with 5 seconds left lol 😂
Arman beat him convincingly so please don't be delusional zombies and stop this fantasy talks if the bell saved him it doesn't matter there's tons of examples where fighters take such risks at the end of a round knowing the bell will eventually save them, charles did no damage and lose the fight 80% 20%
Charles need to learn how to actually wrestle and scramble so he can stay off his back so much otherwise he’ll keep getting smothered by wrestlers
I think it's too late now
It's a three round fight. He won the first round and thought he could just stay on the back try for subs.
If it was a 5 round fight, he would have showed more of his striking.
For what, his ground game is good
@@user-xu9sv6ri2y his jiu jitsu is great but his wrestling skills are not. He’s too comfortable being on his back
People in general may not understand the rules, but how the judge would give the 3rd round to Charles is not clear to me. Striking was 17 significant strikes vs 5. Control time on ground was also in favor of Arman.
Because he had him in the submission a long time and was the closest to finishing the fight. In the wild Arman would have died there with no time limit. Its very influential to the judges. Especially because Arman didn't do much damage with those strikes.
The Armenian judge wasn’t playing no games, apparently he was a stickler for the rules 😂😂
@@LC-jq7vn But you judge fights based on what happened not what will happen after the bell rings.
@@LC-jq7vnDude Olivera’s eye was gushing with blood.
@@-_XD I agree but they didn't see the escape and the judges are human. It definitely unfluences how they thought that round went, or at least one judge.
i actually like this guy
Ariel cant wait for islam to lose
Perfectly explained
@WontHarmYou even though historically the jews were being killed by Christians everywhere and then ran to Muslim countries for shelter I'm talking like crusades era etc
Deepest UFC iceberg lore
@@WontHarmYou ?????
He’s a company man, underdog success story sells > khabib 2.0 sort of boring dominating wrestling matches
Most people watch mma to see fists thrown
Not many watch the Olympics or bjj stuff
what an honest straight forward guy. Would make a great champ!
I am a huge fan since the first fight against islam,Arman is a really really special fighter guys and make my words he will be champion one day 100%. The ground and pound from him remind me of Khabib,Arman is so explosiv and brutal on the ground, That was always one thing that bothered me about Islam.Don't get me wrong i am also a huge Islam fan,because i am fan of the sport and of course because khabib,but Arman men he is really BMF how he came free from this choke? that guy is a really special fighter i can't wait too see him again in the octagon.
Historically people that turn down title shots have a hard time getting Dana to give them another chance
No ones gonna take a title shot in 4-5 weeks effectively , not if the champ hasn't got the same circumstances . It would be suicidal . I mean this gonna be the most important fight in his career , you wanna make sure you are well prepared for that . Cant blame him for that , you dont wanna face a world class guy and champ like Makhachev semi-prepared
@@david101stone5 I get you and I don’t disagree. However we don’t make the rules this guy just got moved to the back of the line by the boss for sure. It’s happened many times
@@david101stone5arman has better prep than islam this time. he already in camp for charles fight. islam just finishing ramadan this month.
i know arman will get the october 2024 spot since islam is guaranteed a spot in abudhabi. but islam will have a good preparation there…
That's not an advantage fight vamp put a strain on your body especially the cut. He needs to time to relax his body to recover. Staying in fight condition b2b is a hug disadvantage it's why we idolize fighters taking 3-4 fights a year@@arzamond
Michael bisbing comes to mind l
So
I was absolutely devastated for Charles. What a stud and good person. But Arman is also a stud, and I’m happy to see him progress in the division and set up a long-awaited rematch with Islam. Stop being salty, folks.
Such a genuine human being
Yo that Ground and Pound in the 2nd round…. wow. He up after the bell and looked completely changed
So happy for Arman!
Can’t wait for that fight. Islam needs to get through Dustin but I believe this fight happens in august or September
UFC matchmakers are drunk, why would they book up all LW contenders in April then have the champ fight in June against the most undeserving contender in the division? Crazy. This is Poirier’s 3rd title shot, completely undeserved, hope Islam cleans up shop quick so we can have Islam Vs Arman in October.
Poiriers win/finish over Benoit is way more impressive than Armans win/hugging of Charles plus Islam hasn't fought Poirier but he has fought Arman so what are you talking about.
Dude people have fought on days notice for titles. 8 weeks is enough time if you didn’t take damage. Arman knows he will lose.
I get that it’s his 3rd title shot but we haven’t had Islam vs Dustin yet, I understand there’s definitely more deserving opponents rn but dustin is also definitely in the mix, I think islam wants to stay active so it makes sense so he can fight Arman and other contenders this year
Armen lost and deserved has nothing to do with it. This is a business.
@@harrywood8657 Might as well give Dustin his title shot now while he still seem physically capable. I'm sure he would have gotten it anyways but he's already old for a lightweight.
I love charles and im biased towards charles bcoz he is my fav fighter but honestly arman won.Fair result.
Let’s go Future Champ.
that reversal he had in round 3 mid round was slick especially against charles
This guys the Real Deal… Future Champ in my Opinion
This guy is a future champ. We were sleeping on him. But he’s fr… only one I can see able to beat Islam
He's not on Islam's level yet. But that's okay Arman is still 28 or something. No one is at Islam's level in both FW and LW. No disrespect but Islam trajectory will be defending against Dustin, Arman, and maybe Conor. After those 3 he will move up and challenge the WW title. Arman will be a champ after Islam moves up
What a man
What a guy
geh
🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲 proud
Arman is a character
I like this guy
Arman played this smart. UFC knows he’s the toughest matchup for Islam. They want to stack the deck so Islam stays on top. Arman can wait for the winner
Another conspiracy theorist 🙄 UFC knew Arman likely wouldn't accept but out respect they still checked with him before making it official with Poirier. As expected, Arman will fight the winner (Islam) at his next fight in Abu Dhabi or MSG.
@@rajkhan9643 we just said the same thing
@@vaughnhunkele188not really. Nothing you said was the same as the other post.
@@vaughnhunkele188 I disagree that the UFC "wants to stack the deck so Islam stays on top" - assuming you meant that UFC preferred Arman to accept the short-noticed fight?
Arman LIKE Tsarukyan
Definitely proper technique and progress
Congrats Arman, the future looks bright. Can't wait till your king of 155 🏆
I’d like to see a rematch with Charles. They both survived each other we need a finish
as a charles fan you have to respect arman .. amazing fighter great guy .. crazy how he survived the Guillotine in the first round .. hopefully charles gets few wins under his belt i wanna see this again .. charles can do better against him specialy standing up
Okay, he is a likable guy. 👍🏻
UFC just doesnt want Islam to fight a full camp opponent 😂
Islam wanted to fight Dustin. You make it seem like these two haven’t fought. They both got better Islam and Arman.
Is that ur new cope😂.
Delusional and conspiracy hype maniac
Your boy charles tapped in the 2nd round with full camp.Still crying
@@BookBook-yw1krThese Islam haters will always make a new reason to hate Islam lol.
Is this the Sarkarian warrior from Sarkaria (The Land of Sarkar) that Uncle Chael was talking about?
Too bad this was the 4th or 5th best fight performance wise on the card, people would actually be talking about this fight if it were on any other card 😂
Max made everyone forget what happened, Pereira got the heart pumping again, but only for a minute or two, walked through the main event way too easy
Is that Nottingham Forest badge on the shelf? :)
Did Ariel say he dominated??? Kayla dominated, Bobby dominated and even Aljo dominated but to say arman dominated is comedy. ESP since he almost lost few times
He did rounds 2 and 3. Maybe dominated isn’t the right word but he definitely was more aggressive. But round 1 was definitely Charles.
Arman was saved by the bell at least 1 round. I wouldn't have been all that mad if they gave Oliviera the decision.
Look at the fight stats, Arman had 3 times more significant strikes in rounds 2 and 3. The first round was equal.
@ucfanatic1 bro, have you ever trained jiu-jitsu? He escaped the choke in the 1st round, the bell has nothing to do with that.
@@sosanxi8648 I’m a blue belt but recently got injured. I was referring to the 2nd and 3rd round
idk how people hate this man
I never thought anyone will beat Islam but this fella will smesh
After his fight with Charles, nobody beat Islam.
LOL GAMROT JUST BEAT THIS DUDE LAST YEAR SO HES LIKE 4TH BEST LW
How can you say this, when Arman legit almost got submitted twice, whilst Islam outclassed Oliveira.
@@muhammadzariff7075because mma math doesn’t work
@@besmart2350it definitely works lol 😂 Charles arguably won against arman and Islam whooped his A$$ under 7 minutes 🤣 btw Islam also didn't lose someone like gamrot who can't control a fly 😂
Arman won a fan out of me and I was rooting for Chafles the whole fight. I knew Charles lost but was hoping for a split decision win for him :((
It will be fun to watch a match between players who score points by catching the leg Arman tsarukyan vs Islam makhachev for lightweight title
Medicine Square Garden is my favorite arena
im a fan of this guy now man , impressive win and humble
Good that he didn't take that fight 👍🏼
Going by your(& my own) gut, Arman won. Going by the book, where degree of damage, especially almost finishing someone, trumps quantity of damage. Hence, Oliveira eeked out the 3rd rd & precisely why one of the Judges scored it as such. Weasle did a great breakdow
that one judge need to learn about judging again
Love this fight.love Arman
Dana said you ever talk to a judge or ref hr will fire you on the spot
Before fights. This was after. Plus they're compatriots.
Arman deserves a shot at the LW title!
Ese le va ha ganar a islam arman fan #1 here
Smart man! Do not be pressured! I’m a Khabib, Islam and all that team. But like you said about Charles. I want kind smart, skill oriented fights that mean something. So many times I saw someone short notice for nothing only for bad outcomes. Earned your spot get at Islam. Be a great fight for kind wonderful people
Not too bad of a guy. I listened to the whole interview actually
While I agree that Arman won that fight, there shouldn't be a armenian judge, nor a brazilian judge at all judging this fight...
There are all the time American judges for American fighters. Should they be banned too? Judges are chosen by credentials and there are three of them. In most sports judges are chosen from different countries so not only one judge is represented. It's also crazy to choose judges from nor the same country because there can be 10-15 nationalities fighting in a card.
@@eimmaar6937 Ye, you got a point
How can people not like Arman?
It’s not how you start, but how you finish! Started bad and ended bad. Fight IQ
Arman u are the best, u are the future champ 🎉👍👍👍
Arman, it was Mike Bell who give the third round to Oliveira? He isn’t Armenien.
Why are people more impressed with the choke rather than the difficulty of coming out of the choke and not tapping.
Without watching the 20 min interview, did he ask him about punching the fan?
he already talked about it on postfight press conference
Had to be a charles average fan, so it's never mind.
Yes he did
15:34
Damn this banger fights should be of 5rds
Lost my parlay cuz of him but can’t lie he’s a great fighter
Can’t wait for Arman Vs Islam
People who loves IslamMakhachev definitely they gonna loves ArmanTsarukyan .
About comments in rd 3 - it is simple, in boxing, you can win 99% of round if you get knocked down then you lose this round. This can be the same for mma we score this on damage. If you win about 70% of the round, then and 10% of the round you are getting the equivalent of knocked down, then you should lose this round. This is just my opinion.
Arman will be the next UFC LW Champion. i called it.
5:50 I will never listen to UFC couch fighters anymore. He knows what he needs to do.
Champ soon
After Islam moves up, sure.
Legend
Arman is a beast!
I love charles, but Arman is right - the last second choke in the 3rd which was threatening but not locked in should have not won him the round
Rd3 wasn't a 99to1 😂
Arman won the striking and oliveira submission attempt edged him the grappling if you follow the word of the rules..
Arman edged it imo but it was one of them rounds where I was still thinking it's more than possible a judge could give it to Charles
Asking him to fight on june 1st after a hard fight like that is stupid. Islam been defending against 145ers the whole time and so much time off u think Arman is gonna handicap himself? Stupid.
Charles never should’ve pulled out that day that was probably his last title shot
Islam beat Charles with ease and you’re criticizing him for fighting Volk lmao
@@alee222 He lost to volk first fight then he fought him again on short notice took no damage but cant fight until after ramadan then complains about having no fight. volk fought ilya right after getting knocked out but islam has to have everything right just to defend against 145 pounders lmao. Can't wait till he gets slept again.
@@charmingmarty2105he lost to Volk? You think backwards 🤡
@@charmingmarty21054-1 Islam, cope.
Desreved win Arman, but to be honest we expected better striking from you
7 weeks is short notice. Arman Just say you are scary ))
Also, it looked like Charles put him to sleep. 💤 just saying
Two words: Anger Management
Don't know about the win but fair play to him
UFC doesn’t reward guys regardless of how fair the circumstances are, he will have to defend his number 1 contender spot
Boss has that la valley girl 'like'isms 😂
God protect you. 🙏🏼✊🏼
What’s the name of the Judge ?
Arman is farking good, heeded khabib's words. go sleep go sleep but don't tap ... and he is getting more likeable with each interview. But I just believe he has 1 chances to beat islam, and that is if islam has an off night. Problem is, I think Islam is just way to complete a fighter. I have been really interested in Armans fights since he fought islam the first time but I think islams skills are just a level above, plus Islam is the bigger man. If Arman pulls it off though, I couldn't hate that and it would bring down the stadium. Cant wait for this fight, Arman, get your training in and lets go, the fans are waiting ...
I wouldn't say dominant, he had top control but didnt do anything with it. He got his arms trapped under charles
I didn't really know who this guy was until 300! I like him in and out of the octagon, but I have to ask, Why all the Booing toward this guy from the people?
Arman get unnecessary hates
That Armenian judge should never be a judge. He took his job as if people were going to judge him for his bias. Just be reasonable. That judge should never be a judge again!
