Arman Tsarukyan offered his perspective on Ilia Topuria`s recent win against Charles Oliveira.
In an interview with ESPN, Tsarukyan discussed Topuria`s performance and mindset. He noted, “Listen, Ilia trains a lot, hits hard, and believes in himself. That’s why he is so confident in himself, which is why he celebrated the victory a day before the fight. He knew he would knock out Oliveira.”
Tsarukyan elaborated on why Oliveira posed little threat: “Oliveira didn’t have many chances. He couldn’t take Topuria down and outstrike him. Charles has good grappling, but that’s about it.” He concluded by highlighting Topuria`s strategic awareness, stating, “Topuria knew that this is the best opponent for him.”
