Following his dominant victory at UFC Vegas 75. Lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan has wasted no time in setting his sights on the upper echelon of the UFC’s lightweight division. With his eyes firmly fixed on title contention, Tsarukyan has expressed his willingness to face former title challenger Michael Chandler if Conor McGregor fails to make a return in 2023.

While a potential bout between Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor was previously expected. Recent developments have cast doubt on its occurrence. McGregor’s failure to meet the USADA testing pool deadline and legal allegations arising from his actions at a Miami Heat game. Make it increasingly unlikely that the Irish superstar will compete in 2023.
Taking to Twitter, Tsarukyan made his intentions clear, expressing his eagerness to face Chandler if McGregor remains inactive in 2023. While it may seem improbable that Chandler and the UFC will accept this offer. The world of mixed martial arts is full of surprises, and a matchup between Tsarukyan and Chandler would undoubtedly be an explosive encounter.
As Tsarukyan continues to climb the ranks. His exceptional skills and determined mindset make him a formidable opponent for anyone in the division. With his relentless drive and the experience gained from facing high-caliber adversaries. Tsarukyan has proven that he belongs among the elite.
Arman Tsarukyan’s remarkable victory at UFC Vegas 75 has propelled him further toward the top of the lightweight division. Tsarukyan has expressed his desire to face Michael Chandler if Conor McGregor’s return remains uncertain. While the likelihood of this matchup may be uncertain. Tsarukyan’s relentless pursuit of excellence and his impressive record make him a formidable force to be reckoned with in the lightweight division.
