Movsar Evloev Weighs In on Arman Tsarukyan’s Potential Featherweight Move

Movsar Evloev does want Arman Tsarukyan to have his crosshairs on the UFC featherweight championship.

Tsarukyan is now the No. 2-ranked lightweight contender after Justin Gaethje won the interim title last month and moved into the top spot.

The Armenian recently expressed a desire to move down in weight and challenge current and two-time UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. ‘Ahalkalakets’ made it clear that if he doesn’t get to fight for the lightweight title next, he would like to compete for the featherweight strap instead, capture it, and then move back to 155 pounds after a few years.
