LAS VEGAS – Arman Tsarukyan is confident he’ll soon fight for the UFC lightweight title if he gets his hand raised on Saturday night. Tsarukyan (21-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) takes on former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira (34-9 MMA, 22-9 UFC) on the main card of UFC 300 , which goes down at t T-Mobile Arena and streams on pay-per-view. The promotion has labeled this fight a title eliminator bout, but some think Dustin Poirier, or the winner of the BMF title fight between Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway, could potentially get next. Tsarukyan doesn’t see that happening. “Yeah, definitely,” Tsarukyan said when asked at Wednesday’s UFC 300 media day if he expects a title shot with a win. “Dana White said whoever wins this one is going to fight for the title, and then I’m next.” Tsarukyan is grateful for the position that he finds himself in
