It really hurts when a fighter gives everything and wins an important fight, only for people to call it a fluke or an accident. This has happened to many fighters, including Israel Adesanya, Leon Edwards, and others. Now it seems to be happening to Arman Tsarukyan, and he wants to prove himself again against Charles Oliveira to show that his win was not accidental.
Talking about Oliveira’s fight against Max Holloway, set for March 7, he is backing the Brazilian to win and claim the BMF title. After UFC 326, if Oliveira wins, Tsarukyan wants a rematch after his split-decision victory. This time, he wants to prove himself clearly and show fans that it was not a fluke win or a robbery.
He said, “Sometimes Oliveira fights so bad, but sometimes he’s unreal. I still lean towards him to win. I hope Oliveira wins, we have a history. People say I won via split decision, but I think I won convincingly. I won all rounds. I need to finish him and show people that victory wasn’t an accident.”

Indeed, a fight with Oliveira would once again silence everyone and make it hard for Dana White and the UFC to snub him again. Meanwhile, the Armenian fighter reacts to Benoit Saint-Denis callout.
At UFC 325, BSD called out Tsarukyan and said he wants to take his spot as the No. 1 contender. BSD has finished every fight, and after his loss to Renato Moicano, he is now on a four-fight winning streak. Now, the Armenian fighter has spoken about Saint-Denis and said he is confident he can outclass the French fighter.
In his words, “I hope I will fight for title next, I don’t care who, where, and what weight class. For him (BSD) to take my spot. He needs to beat me. But he can never beat me.”
