Arman Tsarukyan Offers Controversial Advice to UFC Fighters

Arman Tsarukyan, an Armenian lightweight fighter, is set to return to the UFC in September, facing Mauricio Ruffy in the co-main event of UFC 331. This bout will be his first since a dominant performance against Dan Hooker last November.

Tsarukyan has remained active outside the Octagon, competing 12 times and increasing his popularity through social media and participation in events like Real American Freestyle Wrestling. He has also developed a friendship with streamer Nina Drama, which has contributed to his rising profile.

In a recent interview, Tsarukyan advised fighters who are seen as unexciting to embrace controversies to enhance their visibility. He believes that while being a skilled fighter is essential, engaging in scandals can help maintain a presence in the sport. Despite his growing fame, Tsarukyan feels that the UFC has not yet fully promoted him, attributing his recognition to his own efforts rather than the organization's support.
