Arman Tsarukyan Faces Crucial Fight at UFC 331
Arman Tsarukyan is set to face Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 331 on September 19 in Los Angeles, with significant implications for his championship ambitions.
A loss in this match could jeopardize Tsarukyan's chances of ever competing for a title, as he indicated that it would likely end his hopes for a belt fight. He is motivated to win, especially after previously being removed from a title bout against Islam Makhachev due to issues affecting his standing with the UFC.
Tsarukyan has worked to mend his relationship with the promotion and sees this fight as a pivotal moment. A strong performance could position him for a title shot against Justin Gaethje, who is expected to be sidelined for the remainder of 2026 due to injuries.
