Arman Tsarukyan emerged victorious in a hard-fought split-decision win over Charles Oliveira at UFC 300, held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Following his triumph, UFC officials wasted no time in offering Tsarukyan a championship rematch against 155-pound titleholder Islam Makhachev at UFC 302 on June 1.
However, Tsarukyan's manager disclosed that they turned down the opportunity. Subsequently, the UFC swiftly arranged for Dustin Poirier to step in and challenge Makhachev for the title in the main event of UFC 302.
