UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan earned another dominant victory by TKO’ing Joaquim Silva on Saturday.

At the post-fight presser, he revealed wants Michael Chandler since he believes the Conor McGregor return won’t happen in 2023.

“If you want to ask me, for sure I want to fight with Michael Chandler,” Tsarukyan said. ”Because it looks like his fight with Conor McGregor is over. He got to fight with someone, and I am here. I have good win streak and let’s do this fight, because I’m the youngest guy in top 15. He’s the older one. I think for fans it’s good when new generation fights with older generation.”

Arman Tsarukyan: “I saw what McGregor’s doing”

The lightweight prospect doesn’t think the Irish superstar’s flamboyant way of living makes a comeback doable.

“I saw what McGregor’s doing,” Tsarukyan said. “He’s like relaxing on his yacht, like drink alcohol, goes to the beach, smoke weed. I train with the crazy guys. I live in the gym, train three, two times a day. He’s not going to fight.”

If Arman Tsarukyan can’t face Chandler, he has another opponent in mind.

“If (Beneil) Dariush can fight in Abu Dhabi in October, definitely I want fight with him,” Tsarukyan said.
