The Russian Islam Makhachev puts his lightweight belt on the line for the 4th time in his career during the UFC 311 evening and a duel against the Armenian Arman Tsarukyan.
When we talk about MMA legends, Islam Makhachev is undoubtedly one of them. Master of the lightweight category, the Russian has not lost in the octagon since one evening in October 2015. 14 victories in a row for the champion of the category who knew how to make his opponents crack either by submission or by KO. At the top of the lightweight category since 2022, Islam Makhachev defended his belt 3 times against Alexander Volkanovski (2 fights) and Dustin Poirier, all 3 successfully. Dominant thanks to his technique on the ground but also physically, the Russian still advances as a big favorite during this fight for the title in Los Angeles.
The next to try his luck to bring down the master of his throne, Arman Tsarukyan. The Russian’s first challenger in the rankings, “Ahalkalakets” will be offered a first chance to fight for the title, a reward showing the full value of the fighter from the Caucasus. On the rise, Arman Tsarukyan was never beaten in regulation time, his two losses being conceded by referee decision. Winner of the Brazilian Charles Oliveira during his last fight in April 2024, the Armenian will now try to rely on his versatility to undermine the Russian who will have experience of this type of fight.
