Arman Tsarukyan Makes His Pick for UFC 326: Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira 2
Arman Tsarukyan has weighed in on the UFC 326 headliner in which Max Holloway will defend his BMF title against Charles Oliveira in a rematch.
Tsarukyan, who locked horns with Oliveira at UFC 300 in 2024, won the three-round bout via split decision. Now, two years later, ‘Ahalkalakets’ believes he needs to rematch and finish the Brazilian jiu-jitsu phenom and prove to fans that his previous win was NO accident and he has always been an elite-level fighter.
While giving his prediction for Holloway vs Oliveira 2, the Armenian picked the Brazilian to beat Holloway and win the BMF title. He said:
“Sometimes Oliveira fights so bad, but sometimes he’s unreal. I still lean towards him to win… I hope Oliveira wins; we have a history. People say I won via split decision, but I think I won convincingly. I won all rounds. I need to finish him and show people that victory wasn’t an accident. Even 2 years ago, I was a level above him.”

Arman Tsarukyan wanted to fight for the BMF title
Last year, after submitting Dan Hooker at UFC Qatar, Arman Tsarukyan wanted to fight for the UFC lightweight championship but was denied for many reasons. He also wanted to face BMF kingpin Max Holloway.
However, the UFC gave the opportunity to Charles Oliveira. Do Bronxs’ made a quick turnaround after his UFC 317 knockout loss to Ilia Topuria and returned to winning ways by submitting Mateusz Gamrot at UFC Rio. He then called out Max Holloway to run it back.
‘Blessed’ and Oliveira last fought in 2015, and the Hawaiian won by TKO after his Brazilian foe suffered an injury in the first round.
Recent training clips suggest ‘Do Bronxs’ is getting ready to stand and bang with ‘Blessed’ and is eager to meet the BMF champ in the center of the canvas when he points down.
Holloway, on the other hand, has made it clear he wants to submit the submission artist to further elevate his status as the ‘Baddest Mother F***er.’
