Arman Tsarukyan’s coach ahead of UFC 300: Charles Oliveira more dangerous than Islam Makhachev

TORONTO – Arman Tsarukyan’s coach sees former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira as a massive threat.

Tsarukyan (21-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) faces Oliveira (34-9 MMA, 22-9 UFC) at UFC 300 on April 13 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in what UFC CEO Dana White has labeled a No. 1 contender fight.

If Tsarukyan can beat Oliveira, he will earn a rematch with UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, who beat him in his promotional debut. Marcos “Parrumpa” DaMatta, who will be in Tsarukyan’s corner, believes Oliveira is even more dangerous than Makhachev.
