Armenian fighter Arman Tsarukyan, who withdrew from the fight against Islam Makhachev in 2025, has confirmed his readiness to compete in the UFC without holding the lightweight title. Despite being close to a title fight in the 155-pound category, the athlete wants to remain active in the ring.
Recently, Tsarukyan secured a convincing victory over Lance Palmer at the Real American Freestyle tournament and won the ACBJJ title by defeating Mehdi Baidulaev, showcasing his excellent skills in wrestling and grappling.
In an interview on his YouTube channel, Arman expressed his willingness to fight for the BMF title while awaiting the opportunity to have a title fight in the lightweight division, potentially against opponents like Paddy Pimblett or Justin Gaethje. Moreover, he is also interested in moving to featherweight (145 pounds) for a future title bout.
Despite the existing challenges in the UFC, Tsarukyan is focused on his activity in the Octagon and preparing for the upcoming championship fight.
