‘I’m next’… Arman Tsarukyan offers to ‘save’ the featherweight division after UFC London

Arman Tsarukyan wants the next shot at Alexander Volkanovski’s featherweight belt.

However, Dana White refused to confirm who’s next in line after the Russian extended his perfect record to 20-0 with a debated majority decision victory at UFC London.

Arman Tsraruykan teases move to featherweight

Arman Tsarukyan threw his hat into the ring in the immediate aftermath of UFC London.

The top lightweight contender has expressed his willingness to move down to featherweight for a fight with Alexander Volkanovski multiple times in 2026.

“I’m next,” Tsarukyan tweeted following Movsar Evloev vs. Lerone Murphy.

The Armenian then posed a question to the 4.6 million people who follow him on Instagram.

Tsarukyan asked: “UFC fans, is it time for me to save the featherweight division?”

Alexander Volkanovski expects to face Movsar Evloev next

Alexander Volkanovski’s reaction to Movsar Evloev’s UFC London victory was instant.

‘The Great’ admitted he was impressed by the man he expects to be his next opponent.

“I don’t think we all expected Movsar to just want to stand with Lerone,” Volkanovski said.

“Whether that was something that he felt he had to do, just so he could guarantee himself a title shot, I’m not too sure.

“You could see that he was a lot stronger when he wanted to take him down, and was able to outdo him on the feet.

“For me, it’s quite impressive, to be honest. Fair play to him, he’s 20-0 now.

“I guess he’s next.”
