UFC veteran Michael Chandler has expressed his interest in a RAF clash with Arman Tsarukyan after Arman called him up this weekend.
At RAF 05, Arman Tsarukyan dominated Lance Palmer while staying active in his time outside of mixed martial arts. Michael Chandler was there to see it all happen, as rumors swirled that he’s gearing up for a highly anticipated clash with Conor McGregor, likely at the UFC White House event.
Michael Chandler has suffered big losses in mixed martial arts, but he remains a big name in the UFC’s lightweight division. Tsarukyan, on the other hand, is clearly waiting for a shot at the 155-pound title.
In one recent interview after RAF 05 Michael Chandler had the following to say after being called out by Arman Tsarukyan.
Michael Chandler wants a showdown with Arman Tsarukyan
Chandler: “Let me say one thing about Arman Tsarukyan. The one thing I really respect about Arman is that even when he’s not fighting in the UFC, he stays active. He does wrestling matches and wrestling matches, so that’s one thing I’ll say about him: he stays active.”
Chandler: “That said, I would absolutely beat Arman Tsarukyan in a wrestling match after seeing him tonight. I will say he looked really good, really impressive, but Lance Palmer didn’t look as good as he should have tonight. With that being said, Arman, I will beat you in the RAF wrestling ring. But I have my sights set on something later this summer, I think we all know.”
Tsarukyan: “Good joke. I didn’t know Mike is also a comedian”
For Chandler, as he said, the priority right now is Conor McGregor – with Tsarukyan eyeing the main event of UFC 324.
