After the suspension of top contender Arman Tsarukyan, Charles Oliveira's coach believes his fighter is the only logical choice to challenge Islam Makhachev for the UFC Lightweight Championship. Despite a previous loss to Makhachev, coach Diego Lima argues that there are no other contenders currently in the lightweight division and that Oliveira has improved since their first fight. With both Oliveira and his coach pushing for the title shot, could we see a rematch between Oliveira and Makhachev in the near future?
Armenian fighter, Arman Tsarukyan, solidifies his path to a title fight rematch against incumbent gold holder, Islam Makhachev with a split decision victory over former lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira at UFC 300.

Tsarukyan's performance was a blend of resilience and domination, with Oliveira making a strong comeback in the latter rounds. This latest development in the lightweight division sets the stage for an exciting future for Tsarukyan and the UFC.
