Tsarukyan, 28, has a style based on high-precision wrestling and quick transitions on the ground, which has earned him prominence in fights against the likes of Charles of the Bronx. Recently, the Armenian showed versatility by winning Makkasharip Zaynukov in a grappling exhibition at Karate Combat 54 last Friday (2). He has no fight scheduled in the Ultimate and is waiting for a good opportunity to fight in the lightweight division (up to 70,3 kg).

Yes, Patricky Pitbull, 39, is the co-founder of the Pitbull Brothers team and has experience in international events and was even the Bellator champion before the event was discontinued. The Brazilian has not competed since June 2024, when he was defeated by compatriot Bruno Miranda in the PFL.

ADXC 10 is a platform to keep Tsarukyan active, as well as sharpen his ground game ahead of a new UFC fight. For the fighter, the participation also cements his image as a versatile fighter, especially after pulling out of a fight against Islam makhachev for the UFC belt in January 2025 due to a back injury.
