Oliveira holds the record of most submissions in UFC history and has beaten all the top guys barring the champion himself. In a video uploaded by Red Corner MMA, Arman said,
Oliveira’s in the top five lightweights of all time for sure. He’s beaten all lightweights except Islam. Plus he has the most submissions, if I am not mistaken.
it’s quite evident that Tsarukyan is not taking Oliveira lightly as he considers him to be one of the best lightweights of all time. Oliveira and Arman both of them beat out Beneil Dariush in their last fights via spectacular knockouts. It’s quite clear whoever emerges victorious in their bout will face the lightweight champion Islam Makhachev in their next fight.

It’ll be interesting to see how the Georgian deals with the pressure put on him by Oliveira. He will definitely want to be careful getting into grappling scrambles given his Jiu Jitsu credentials. Oliveira was scheduled to fight Islam last year to get back his title but had to opt out of the fight as he suffered from a deep cut above the eye.
