play05:44

of course now look Armen you're only 27

play05:47

years old you've already accomplished

play05:48

some major things in this sport uh you

play05:50

know counting the champion Islam makev

play05:52

you're the only lightweight among the

play05:55

top 12 who's even younger than 30 and

play05:57

you've got a few years to go before that

play05:59

what does that say about the state of

play06:01

the lightweight Division and your place

play06:02

in

play06:03

it it says like I'm going to be a

play06:06

champion and I'm going to be like

play06:08

longest champion in the uh 155 division

play06:12

so if I'm going to be champion in my

play06:15

27 I guess I'm going to retire like 33

play06:20

years old and 34 years old so I I want

play06:23

to like be one of the best 155 in the

play06:28

world so I I want to break all records

play06:31

and uh

play06:34

so and I think I can do that because I

play06:37

have time so I have time I know

play06:41

like um everybody is um very old on my

play06:45

division and

play06:47

uh so just take my time learn new

play06:51

techniques and uh be smart train train

play06:54

hard and smart don't get hurt and uh

play06:58

everything going to be good so you might

play07:00

not be in a rush to go up to 170 you

play07:02

already hear about Islam talking about

play07:03

170 no no no I want to be in 155 so my

play07:08

goal is to be a champion you know I

play07:09

don't think about 155 or 170 and 145

play07:15

so I'm just focused on my division and

play07:18

this is the best division and the

play07:21

toughest division in my opinion in youc

play07:24

so that's why I'm here and I work on it

play07:28

so sure and and you know we all heard

play07:31

about uh the fact that UFC had offered

play07:33

you that title shot in New Jersey on

play07:35

June 1st uh you know they asked you

play07:38

right after the fight just after you won

play07:40

against Oliva he turned it down because

play07:42

of the short notice and all that kind of

play07:44

thing um you know I I think you know the

play07:47

winner obviously we knew on this fight

play07:50

had the inside track to that title shot

play07:51

but it surprise you that they wanted to

play07:53

do it so

play07:55

soon yeah it surprised me I just I

play07:58

didn't understand why they they don't

play08:00

want to do like in the end of June you

play08:03

know or like July why they want to just

play08:06

June 1 and that's it so for me it no

play08:10

makees sense they can like bring someone

play08:13

else and like uh the like push a little

play08:17

bit like later that fight you know so

play08:21

and why I didn't take that fight because

play08:24

it was very soon for me I wanted recover

play08:27

like to do very well recovery like work

play08:29

on my strengths and then work on my

play08:32

resing and then work on my uh uh

play08:36

conditional you know it's a it takes

play08:38

time so yeah of course for money I can

play08:41

like like get there and like fight for

play08:44

the title but I want this is like a you

play08:48

you can fight like you cannot fight for

play08:50

the title like every year you know it's

play08:53

like I'm number one Contender why I got

play08:55

a rush so it's a I deserve to fight for

play08:59

the ti title and uh I guess I know like

play09:03

I

play09:04

can like take my time and fight for the

play09:07

title like in September or October

play09:10

whatever so I'm

play09:12

ready do you do you think that maybe

play09:14

they wanted to do it so soon because

play09:17

they kind of needed something for that

play09:18

event you know they they had so many

play09:20

championship fights over two months

play09:21

right with 299 and 300 maybe it might

play09:24

have been spread a little thin maybe

play09:26

they just needed a fight then yeah maybe

play09:29

but I'm okay you know I'm okay so uh for

play09:32

me it's better so they maybe going to

play09:35

get they going to get more damage and

play09:37

when I'm going to fight with them they

play09:38

going to be already like weak and

play09:41

they'll be just a little bit older

play09:43

whereas you're

play09:44

still they they they going to make

play09:46

weight you know that I think like one

play09:49

make weight one time make weight it's

play09:52

like takes a couple year of your life so

play09:56

really is it hard for you to make the

play09:58

way

play09:59

oh yeah for everybody it's hard I mean

play10:01

it's not maybe it's not hard for the our

play10:04

body but for our mind you know you're

play10:07

like every day like thinking about

play10:10

weight wait weight how you going to cut

play10:12

your weight you know or sometimes your

play10:15

weight is not going down you're like in

play10:17

depression you know like sometimes

play10:19

happen you know and uh like Fighters

play10:22

know the they can we can fight every

play10:24

weekend but we can cut every weekend

play10:27

weight especially if you cut like 30

play10:29

lounds 25 PBS I feel like in 155

play10:33

Fighters they cut more than 25 pounds so

play10:36

no one cost less than 25 pounds what do

play10:39

you walk around at typically when you're

play10:41

between fights let's say uh about 182

play10:44

183 okay so that's your comfortable way

play10:47

yeah I don't I don't go too much

play10:53

if I was just wrester of course I I

play10:55

could be like 180 this is good but like

play10:59

I feel like with my style I need like to

play11:03

be walk around 183 182 so that's why I

play11:07

try to control myself but I like eat

play11:12

especially like good food you

play11:15

know I I think we all like to eat R

play11:18

while that

play11:19

way now you fought uh makev obviously

play11:22

once before in your UFC debut five years

play11:24

ago um I'm sure you don't want to speak

play11:26

to everything you learned from that

play11:28

experience but like what was one of the

play11:29

biggest things you took away from you

play11:31

know facing him that night uh listen

play11:34

your

play11:36

coach yeah that's a good lesson it's

play11:38

always a good lesson this is the yeah

play11:40

this is the best lesson okay okay so you

play11:43

know couple weeks ago I had spoken with

play11:46

Islam actually and he asked him uh if he

play11:48

was surprised that you had turned down

play11:51

you know the quick turnaround fight he

play11:53

accused you of turning down maybe three

play11:56

or four chances to fight him and you

play11:57

responded on social media

play11:59

that that wasn't the truth and that he

play12:02

was just looking for an advantage on

play12:03

short notice you know were there other

play12:05

chances for you to have fought him over

play12:07

the last few years is is is what he's

play12:09

saying true or false no it was one

play12:12

time uh uh I I have I I had a fight with

play12:18

Joel

play12:19

Alvarez and uh the one the DAR pulled

play12:24

out and uh they were they were looking

play12:26

for someone so I was there and like

play12:29

you want to fight with Islam one week

play12:31

like I'm in fight week you know you want

play12:33

to fight with Islam I said why I got to

play12:35

fight with him if I have a uh fight this

play12:38

week and like Islam he's a Safa my

play12:42

fighter he's a Orthodox so and like

play12:45

they're completely different Fighters

play12:47

what do you want from me oh we're going

play12:49

to pay good money this that I said like

play12:52

I'm not ready for this guy you know

play12:54

because like my old training camp was

play12:56

like a Orthodox guy see know and he's a

play12:59

softb it's like completely different of

play13:01

course if like my opponent like he's a

play13:04

softb as well and U it makes sense to

play13:08

fight with him B it was first time and

play13:10

second time it was this time that's it

play13:13

so okay okay so so he exaggerated a

play13:17

little bit with three or four right yeah

play13:18

three four times yeah okay okay so now

play13:22

look uh you know after you passed on the

play13:24

opportunity this time of course uh the

play13:26

title fight went to Dustin porier

play13:28

assuming you know all goes according to

play13:30

your plan you know you'd fight the

play13:32

winner later this year you mentioned but

play13:34

you and Dustin are both American top

play13:36

team you know huge team obviously and

play13:38

you fought at guy before um how much

play13:41

have you two trained together or

play13:42

interacted with one another we used to

play13:45

train one time together but like it was

play13:48

four years ago and we haven't trained

play13:51

together yet like four years you know

play13:53

and uh he I knew I I'm going to fight

play13:58

with him of course he didn't think think

play14:01

like that when I was young and like walk

play14:04

around like under top 15 and uh but now

play14:08

you know like when I get top top 15 they

play14:11

knew like I'm a contender so especially

play14:14

in the gym like and uh that's why we

play14:17

didn't train together so that it's a

play14:20

good you know because if if he win if he

play14:23

wins Islam aacho we can fight because we

play14:27

are not uh uh sparring partners like

play14:30

let's see gamr and porier they train

play14:33

together and uh I don't know they going

play14:37

to fight or not because they know each

play14:39

other each other very well

play14:41

so and probably Dustin pory is at the

play14:44

point that you know he he can kind of

play14:46

choose the fights that he's got left

play14:47

that he wants to take right so I imagine

play14:49

that's probably not something he wants

play14:50

to do yeah yeah he is a God in our

play14:53

division so he deserve it of course of

play14:55

course now if por does win that could

play14:58

potentially throw him monkey wrench into

play14:59

your plans you know they might look to

play15:01

do you know an immediate rematch or

play15:03

something like that later this year put

play15:04

you in a in an unfortunate spot if

play15:06

things do go that way would you you know

play15:08

look into fighting another opponent or

play15:10

would you continue to

play15:11

wait no I'm gonna wait I'm gonna wait

play15:14

for my title fight so and uh I know like

play15:20

UFC going to give me that chance

play15:23

because they're not they going

play15:25

to do real fight with a real fighter

play15:29

gotch you gotta know you know you're

play15:30

expecting you know to fight for that

play15:32

title like we said later this year

play15:34

October is Abu Dhabi very likely as as

play15:37

it often is November very frequently is

play15:40

in our neck of the woods over here in

play15:41

Madison Square Garden you've already

play15:43

competed in Abu Dhabi a couple times but

play15:45

not at New York uh is that something

play15:47

that you kind of are looking forward to

play15:48

doing at some point yeah looking for in

play15:50

New York so it's a different different

play15:53

thing you know especially a fight in

play15:55

medicine Square Garden it's a history

play15:58

the history place you know yeah I would

play16:01

like I would like to fight there yeah

play16:04

but like for me it doesn't matter so if

play16:06

they said after after that fight like oh

play16:09

you're going to fight you're going to

play16:10

fight in in the end of June or in the

play16:13

end of July or like middle of

play16:16

July uh I would take it because I

play16:19

already train and like so I'm going to

play16:22

be ready for any

play16:24

days and the then of June July August

play16:27

September October doesn't matter so just

play16:30

let me know what they and to be clear

play16:33

you you you wouldn't be serving as like

play16:35

the backup fighter like they often do

play16:37

right you're you're just you are you

play16:39

going to be in New

play16:40

Jersey yeah I'm going to be in New

play16:42

Jersey but

play16:44

they they didn't they didn't ask about

play16:47

back up so and and I imagine you would

play16:49

have done that anyway because you could

play16:51

have just had the fight to begin with

play16:52

right yeah yeah and uh if they paid like

play16:56

a lot of money of course I could think

play16:59

about that but like I would

play17:02

like just to watch their fight not to be

play17:05

a back up sure sure and I guess the last

play17:08

question I have for you is that fight

play17:10

you know you're familiar with both

play17:11

opponents of course uh and how they

play17:13

fight what's your take on the matchup

play17:14

how do you see it playing

play17:17

out uh I see like is I'm gonna try to

play17:21

push him to the cage to take him

play17:24

down and uh try to hold him submit him

play17:29

and uh but

play17:32

if he couldn't do that if he can't do

play17:35

that it's going to be dangerous if if he

play17:38

wants to box him I think last POR in a

play17:42

different level like his punch his speed

play17:45

like he can knock him out very very fast

play17:48

so that's why Islam got

play17:51

to uh try to take him down right away so

play17:55

yeah and uh for me uh

play17:59

for me the favorite is Islam on this

play18:03

fight but like I can put on my money on

play18:06

Dustin por K so

play18:11

because uh it it could be happened
