Overview
- Tsarukyan predicted on his Telegram channel that Charles Oliveira will defeat Max Holloway, noting the Brazilian’s inconsistency but leaning toward him to prevail.
- He reiterated that he wants to face Oliveira again and finish him to prove his 2024 split-decision win at UFC 300 was not a fluke.
- UFC 326 is scheduled for March 7 with Holloway defending the BMF title against Oliveira in their first meeting since a 2015 bout that ended early due to Oliveira’s injury.
- Coverage highlights Tsarukyan’s critique that Oliveira can look “so bad” or “unreal,” a volatility he believes could still yield a victory if Oliveira fights smart.
- With no next fight booked for Tsarukyan, he has shifted his focus toward the BMF pathway and is targeting the winner as a potential springboard back into title contention.
