Arman Tsarukyan has once more expressed a desire to fight for the BMF title. Tsarukyan, after being denied an undisputed title shot for various reasons, had earlier wanted to fight BMF champion Max Holloway. However, the promotion denied him that, too, by announcing a rematch between Holloway and Charles Oliveira, with the BMF belt on the line to headline UFC 326.
Ahalkalakets’ recently appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show and was asked about his plans for this year. If lightweight champion Ilia Topuria returns in the summer, Tsarukyan will have to wait for another undisputed title shot, as the soon-to-be-crowned interim 155-pound champion at UFC 324 will face Topuria to unify the belts.
