From Conor McGregor&rsquo;s wild predictions to Khabib Nurmagomedov&rsquo;s quiet confidence, fans have heard it all. These pre-fight declarations have become part of the game, ranging from the ridiculous to the prophetic.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Now, as fans approach UFC 311, Arman Tsarukyan and Islam Makhachev have joined this tradition. They both are confident in their skills and a win in the upcoming matchup. Tsraukyan recently claimed that he has got a mysterious secret technique up his sleeve for his championship bout. But Makhachev isn&rsquo;t buying this one bit.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/ufc-news-arman-tsarukyan-encourages-undefeated-champion-to-move-up-a-weight-class\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Arman Tsarukyan Encourages Undefeated Champion To Move Up A Weight Class<\/a><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Islam Makhachev&rsquo;s Response To Arman Tsarukyan&rsquo;s Secret Technique<\/h2><p>Tsarukyan has been particularly cryptic about this supposed game-changing move. When pressed about it during UFC 311&rsquo;s media day, he played coy, only hinting that it would be a surprise.&nbsp;<\/p><p>In response, Makhachev brought up a pretty good point. Tsarukyan had boldly claimed he would finish Charles Oliveira in the first round, but that fight went the full distance and ended in a split decision.&nbsp;<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>&rdquo;I told you, don&rsquo;t believe what Arman says because last time he said he will finish [Charles] Oliveira by one round but they go all distance and he won by split distance, that&rsquo;s why don&rsquo;t believe him.&rdquo;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Islam Makhachev: &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t believe what Arman Tsarukyan says&rdquo; about secret technique\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j0StXcqY6ng?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Islam Makhachev already holds a win over Tsarukyan from their 2019 encounter, and he has made it clear he&rsquo;s not interested in a trilogy fight after this weekend. The champion seems almost annoyed by all the secret technique talk. His response has been typically Dagestani &ndash; straightforward and no-nonsense.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Whether Tsarukyan&rsquo;s secret technique turns out to be revolutionary or just another pre-fight fairytale will be revealed at UFC 311. But Makhachev&rsquo;s message is clear: talk is cheap, and the octagon is where promises either come true or fall flat!<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Islam Makhachev Confident In His Rematch Against Arman Tsarukyan<\/h2><p>When Islam Makhachev steps into the octagon for a second time against someone, there&rsquo;s this eerie calmness about him. His first encounter with someone is like reading the first chapter of a book &ndash; he&rsquo;s learning their style, habits, and tendencies. But the rematch? That&rsquo;s when Makhachev rewrites the whole story. This was evident in his second fight against Alexander Volkanovski, and that is how he thinks the rematch with Arman Tsarukyan (22-3) will play out.<\/p><p>As UFC 311 approaches, Islam Makhachev&rsquo;s confidence in rematches is more relevant than ever. During the media day, Makhachev couldn&rsquo;t help but smile when talking about his preparation for this rematch.<\/p><p><strong><em>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m always good in rematches.

I was instantly hooked on MMA after watching the fight between Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi back in 2014, and since then, i have been an avid writer with a deep love for the sport and its techniques, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the sport. My favorite aspect of working at The Playoffs is the creative freedom it provides. The diverse range of topics, from listicles and SEO to news articles, keeps me engaged and motivates me to continuously improve my skills! I aim to capture the excitement of the combat sports world in my writing, acting as the middleman between fighters and their die-hard fans. It is kind of like a referee, but with words!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/zaid-quraishi-884927240?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/zaid\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13209"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13209"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13209\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13350,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13209\/revisions\/13350"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
