Arman Tsarukyan Suggests UFC Fears Russian Belt Takeover

The #1 lightweight suggested the UFC fears a Russian belt sweep at lightweight and beyond. “Petr, Khamzat, Islam, Ankalaev, me, Movsar - if we’re gonna take all the belts, then the UFC won’t have champions from the US and England,” he said. He argued that either Justin Gaethje or Paddy Pimblett winning Saturday's interim lightweight title keeps the promotion happy.
