UFC Fighters Arman Tsarukyan and Joshua Van Receive Custom Shorts Ahead of UFC 331

Arman Tsarukyan and Joshua Van will debut custom shorts at UFC 331 this Saturday, an event taking place in California. The main event features a flyweight title fight between Van and Alexandre Pantoja, while Tsarukyan faces Mauricio Ruffy in a lightweight contender bout.

The custom shorts reflect the fighters' heritage, with Van's design incorporating elements of his Burmese background, including national colors and a hornbill motif. Tsarukyan's shorts feature Mount Ararat and a Russian bear, along with the Armenian flag and a Batman logo, as he recently changed his nickname to Batman.

This initiative follows the UFC's decision to allow select fighters to wear custom designs after previously restricting personal sponsorships. Notable fighters like Alex Pereira and Max Holloway have previously received similar custom shorts.
