Tickets for UFC 311: Islam Makhachev vs. Arman Tsarukyan promise to deliver an unforgettable experience, treating fans to an intense spectacle and giving them the chance to support their favorite fighters in this highly significant matchup!

Makhachev is known for his strength in clinches, often skipping strikes, including knees, in favor of takedowns. His moves are almost always successful, thanks to his exceptional physical power combined with mastery in wrestling and judo. For contemporary lightweights, defeating and restraining Makhachev seems like an almost impossible task.

However, in their first bout, Tsarukyan was a newcomer with little experience, making it difficult to compete with the champion. This time, Arman has come a long way. He has significantly improved his technique and gained invaluable experience. At the time of the first fight, Tsarukyan was just 22 years old and had only 13 days to prepare. Now he has grown both technically and mentally, mastering new skills in MMA and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Arman eagerly awaits his chance to showcase these improvements to his fans early next year.

The UFC's 4th-ranked lightweight, Arman Tsarukyan, confidently admits that his greatest motivation is facing Islam Makhachev, the reigning champion, in a rematch. After an impressive victory over Beneil Dariush, the Armenian-born fighter made it clear that his ultimate goal is a title fight.
