Arman Tsarukyan has called out Michael Chandler by insisting his upcoming fight against Conor McGregor is dead in the water.
Tsarukyan, 26, picked up his latest UFC win by knocking out Joaquim Silva last weekend and he wants to fight a top-ranked lightweight contender in his next bout. The Armenian thinks McGregor will not fight Chandler at the end of this year because of his lack of training footage online, so he wants to replace the Irishman and face Chandler instead.
“If you want to ask me, for sure I want to fight with Michael Chandler because it looks like his fight with Conor McGregor is over. He's got to fight with someone and I am here. I have a good win streak and let’s do this fight because I’m the youngest guy in the top 15. He’s the older one. I think for fans it’s good when new generation fights with the older generation.”
