A rematch with Charles Oliveira is the ‘most attractive’ option for Arman Tsarukyan’s next UFC fight.That’s according to Tsarukyan’s manager, Sayat Abdrakhmanov, who has shared an insight into the Armenian star’s future with a UFC title shot imminent.Tsarukyan is next in line for a shot at the UFC lightweight title currently held by Justin GaethjeGettySeveral MMA fans believed it should’ve been Tsarukyan challenging Ilia Topuria for the lightweight belt at UFC White House earlier this month.Instead, ‘El Matador’ ended up facing Justin Gaethje and suffered an unexpected, brutal beating at the hands of the American, who subsequently claimed his first undisputed belt with the historic upset.Gaethje, too, sustained some injuries during the blockbuster main event, meaning he will need several months off.The champion has already admitted his chances of fighting again this year are almost zero, and that leaves Tsarukyan with a slight dilemma.Speaking to Match TV last week, Abdrakhmanov highlighted why his man may end up facing Brazil’s Oliveira, with activity at the forefront of the Armenian’s plans going forward while he waits for his opportunity to fight for gold.“Taking into account that Gaethje just fought and is unlikely to return to the Octagon in the next six months and that Arman needs to stay active, the option with Oliveira is the most attractive,” Tsarukyan’s manager said.“We just have to consider the situation in the division, and the situation is that it’s better to act than to wait.”Tsarukyan staying activeTsarukyan cemented his status as a lightweight contender by comfortably submitting Dan Hooker last time out in November at UFC Qatar.The 29-year-old entered the bout having defeated Oliveira, the No. 1 contender at the time, by split decision at UFC 300 over two years ago.He has remained extremely active as the division’s standout contender for the lightweight throne since, competing in nine separate grappling bouts since his win over Hooker.Tsarukyan made light work of fellow top-ranked lightweight Hooker in his last fightGettyThe Armenian is favourite to fight for the UFC lightweight title next, but could be forced to rematch Oliveira firstGettyTsarukyan has also caught the headlines on social media due to his quirky live streams and went viral during his wrestling match with UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber at RAF 8 in April.Having already got the better of Oliveira in the UFC, Tsarukyan will, of course, fancy his chances in a rematch to then set up a title shot next.However, Oliveira has returned to his best since being knocked out by Topuria at UFC 317 in June 2025.‘Do Bronxs’ returned to home soil just four months after the defeat and made a statement by submitting Mateusz Gamrot at UFC Rio.In his last fight, Oliveira completely dominated Max Holloway, Conor McGregor‘s next opponent, over five rounds to claim the promotion’s BMF strap.With the belief that he should’ve got the fight with McGregor, a matchup with Tsarukyan might not be so tempting for Oliveira.Oliveira claimed a dominant unanimous decision win against Max Holloway in MarchGettyOliveira has already claimed the undisputed UFC lightweight title and will no doubt be gunning for his second shot soon.
