“Hurts a Bit” – Arman Tsarukyan Has UFC 300 Upset Planned for Charles Oliveira; Fans Turn Against LW Star

Charles Oliveira fans were out in full force against Arman Tsarukyan at the latest UFC 300 Q&A session! The two men are scheduled to clash at the historic UFC event on April 13th. According to the announcement made by UFC CEO Dana White, the fight will determine the number one contender to take on lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev.

However, during the recent Q&A session for the event, Tsarukyan was on the receiving end of an overwhelmingly negative response from the crowd. While bringing him up to the stage, host Megan Olivi noticed the fan reactions and exclaimed, “…poor guy, he hasn’t said a word yet and you’re already booing him?”

In the video shared by MMA Junkie on Instagram, the fans seemingly didn’t care what Tsarukyan had to say as he had to endure a chorus of boos every time he was asked a question. And things took a turn for the worse when fans were allowed to present their questions to the fighters.

However, the display by the crowd caused the MMA fans online to come out and state their displeasure with Oliveira’s fans for the incident in the comment section.
