The declaration of the likely next challenger to the lightweight belt (up to 70,3 kg) caused great repercussion. The fight between Charles of the Bronx e Michael chandler is one of the most anticipated of the year, with both athletes seeking a new opportunity to fight for the category's belt.

Tsarukyan, in turn, already has his future mapped out. The Armenian faces Islam makhachev in a rematch that promises to be electrifying for the title.

Arman's confidence in Charles of the Bronx is based on the Brazilian's performance in his last fights. After losing the belt to Islam makhachev, the Brazilian bounced back with an impressive victory over Beneil Dariush, but ended up being defeated by him in his last appearance in the octagon.

O UFC 309, which takes place in November, will have as its main fight the confrontation between Jon Jones e Stipe Miocic for the heavyweight belt. The event is expected to be one of the biggest in UFC history, with the farewell of two legends of the sport.
