At #2 in the lightweight rankings, Arman Tsarukyan — "Ahalkalakets" to fight fans — is past the "prospect" stage. This is contender territory, and every fight from here is a title eliminator in disguise.
The game is built on grappling: 3.3 takedowns per 15 minutes, and opponents spend rounds defending instead of fighting. 6 submission wins say what happens when the defense slips.
He arrives on a 5-fight win streak — most recently Dan Hooker, Submission (Arm Triangle) R2. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
