Arman Tsarukyan Explains 'Grappling Bouts' Before UFC Return

The #1-ranked UFC lightweight explained his decision to face middleweight Sharaputdin Magomedov in a grappling match on December 30 in Armenia. “I have never fought in Armenia,” he said, noting the UFC won’t visit Armenia for the next "5-10 years." Tsarukyan wants young fans from Armenia, Georgia, and nearby villages who can’t afford to travel abroad to see him live.
