Arman Tsarukyan says he will become face of UFC within a year

Arman Tsarukyan expressed bold confidence about his future in the UFC, stating he will capture the sport within a year and become its face. The lightweight contender believes that when people see him, they will immediately think of the UFC. Tsarukyan stated his only remaining goal is to capture the title. However, he expressed doubt that a fight with Islam Makhachev will materialize, suggesting Makhachev will finish his career after just a couple more fights.
