Their first encounter occurred on April 20, 2019, at UFC Fight Night 149 in St. Petersburg, where Makhachev defeated Tsarukyan by unanimous decision.

Tickets for UFC 311: Islam Makhachev vs. Arman Tsarukyan offer a unique opportunity to witness a clash between two of the world's top lightweights and feel the electrifying emotions while supporting the fighters in this significant battle.
Makhachev demonstrates exceptional skills in the clinch, wasting no time on strikes, including knees. Instead, he focuses on takedowns, which he executes with precision thanks to his powerful physical form and top-level wrestling and judo techniques. For lightweights, it seems almost impossible to overpower or hold him down. However, years ago when they first met, Tsarukyan was a debutant, and he didn't stand much chance of offering strong resistance. Now, Arman has grown significantly and gained crucial skills.
During their first encounter, Tsarukyan was only 22 years old and took the fight on just 13 days' notice, which left him with minimal preparation time. Since then, he has vastly improved his striking abilities and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Eagerly anticipating February of the upcoming year, he is ready to prove to the world just how much stronger he has become. Ranked No. 4 in the UFC lightweight division, Arman Tsarukyan emphasizes that his desire to avenge his loss to current champion Islam Makhachev greatly drives his motivation. After defeating Beneil Dariush, the Russian fighter made it clear that his target is a title shot.
