Arman Tsarukyan, a prominent contender in the lightweight division, has announced his expectation to fight for a title in September 2026. During a vlog, he indicated that this fight may not involve Ilia Topuria, who has been linked to a matchup against Justin Gaethje. Instead, Tsarukyan hinted at a potential rematch with Charles Oliveira, whom he previously faced at UFC 300, winning by a narrow split decision. This rematch could be significant, especially since Oliveira recently claimed the symbolic 'Baddest M———' title from Max Holloway at UFC 326. Tsarukyan's comments suggest he is eager to remain active in the division, especially if Topuria or Gaethje pursue other opportunities following UFC Freedom 250. The lightweight title landscape remains fluid, but Tsarukyan's statements indicate he is preparing for a significant challenge ahead.
