Arman Tsarukyan | Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC Arman Tsarukyan has to admit he was impressed by Ilia Topuria . This past Saturday, Topuria claimed the vacant lightweight title with a first-round knockout of Charles Oliveira in the main event of UFC 317 . It was the outcome Topuria predicted before the fight, and one many believed would happen, but was nevertheless impressive, especially to Tsarukyan who was sitting cageside.
