Arman Tsarukyan wants to reaffirm his superiority over Charles Oliveira . After defeating the Brazilian by split decision at UFC 300 in 2024, the Armenian had his merits questioned and, therefore, hopes that the 'Irish Lion' will overcome Max Holloway at UFC 326, in the expectation that he will have a new opportunity to definitively demonstrate that he is superior to the former lightweight champion (up to 70,3kg).

In a video posted on Telegram, Tsarukyan analyzed Oliveira's inconsistency, highlighting that the Brazilian alternates between poor and high-level performances, but still believes in his victory against Holloway. The Armenian also emphasized the rivalry between them, arguing that he won the match convincingly, despite the official result indicating a split decision.

“Sometimes Oliveira fights very badly, but other times it’s something surreal. Still, I bet he wins. I hope Oliveira wins, we have a history. People say I won by split decision, but I think I won convincingly. I won every round,” said Tsarukyan.

Arman also stated that he needs a rematch to finish off Charles Oliveira and dispel any doubts about his true potential, as he already saw himself at a higher level even two years ago, when their first fight took place.

“I need to finish it and show people that that victory wasn’t an accident. Even two years ago, I was already a level above him,” concluded the Armenian.

Charles Oliveira's night at UFC 300 was marked by a bitter taste. The Brazilian, who was looking to resume his upward trajectory and get closer to another shot at the lightweight title (up to 70,3kg), found a very tough opponent in Arman Tsarukyan and ended up suffering a split decision loss after nearly finishing him in the first round.
