Apparently, Arman Tsarukyan lost his temper during one of his random outings outside the UFC. The Armenian, who has recently been competing in grappling events while waiting for a chance to fight for the Ultimate belt, was involved in a general brawl at RAF 06, an event that features wrestling matches.

In videos published by MMA Fighting and Championship Rounds, the Armenian fighter was winning his bout 5-3 against Georgio Poullas when, suddenly, he lunged at his opponent with a shove and punches to the face. The UFC lightweight was restrained by the referee, and the fight quickly turned into a general brawl between the teams.

Arman Tsarukyan forgotten by UFC

Despite holding the number one ranking in the lightweight division (up to 70,3 kg), Arman Tsarukyan has yet to have the opportunity to fight for the UFC belt. When he was finally scheduled to fight for the title at UFC 311 , the Armenian ended up injuring his back the day before the fight and had to be removed from the card, being replaced by Renato Moicano.

As if that weren't enough, Tsarukyan was subsequently placed only as a reserve in the fight between Charles Oliveira and Ilia Topuria , valid for the vacant belt at UFC 317. Then, in the interim lightweight title fight at UFC 324, the athlete wasn't even considered by the organization, which opted instead for Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje.

After watching the American defeat the Briton and win the interim belt, it seems that Arman Tsarukyan will once again watch a lightweight title fight without his name involved, since Justin Gaethje and Ilia Topuria are lined up for a title unification bout.
