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.”
