Arman Tsarukyan and his team are not the ones to joke about in the MMA world right now. This week, Dana White and the UFC dealt a major blow to Tsarukyan’s hopes of landing a title shot. Despite the Russian-Armenian fighter’s efforts, the UFC president announced an interim lightweight title bout between Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje. While this decision was tough for Tsarukyan to swallow, he didn’t hold back in criticizing the promotion, posting a scathing remark on social media. Now, the situation has taken another turn.
Arman Tsarukyan ’s teammate, Shovkhal Churchaev, grabbed headlines after attacking streamer Subo Mamedov during a live stream over a joke. Following the incident, Churchaev reportedly ran off with $30,000, which the streamer had paid him for appearing on the show.
