Muhammad Mokaev Says Arman Tsarukyan’s Size Tilted Their Grappling Fight

Ex-UFC star Mokaev said Tsarukyan’s size made a major difference in their 10-minute submission-only grappling match at Hype Brazil in Rio, where Tsarukyan choked him unconscious in the seventh minute. Mokaev said they were separated by 23 kilograms, adding, “That’s why we have weight classes.” He respected the result but suggested six minutes would have been fairer.
