Arman Tsarukyan is now rightfully considered one of the best lightweight fighters in the world and is a contender for the highest spots in the UFC rankings. He began his professional career in 2015 and, in just three years, has fought 13 times, earning a coveted contract with the world’s strongest promotion.
Today, we will watch the fight that became Arman’s final step before signing with the UFC. It took place on August 22, 2018, at the S-70 tournament, where he faced the formidable knockout artist Felipe Olivieri. By that time, the Brazilian had 15 wins in 20 fights, knocking out his opponents 11 times with powerful punches. It seemed the crowd was in for a classic grappler-puncher showdown, but the ending of this fight surprised everyone.
