Arman Tsarukyan is one of the stars of the lightweight division, having racked up a five-fight winning streak, the most recent of which came via submission against Dan Hooker, and thus breaking into the division’s top 10. The Armenian has established himself as one of the most well-rounded lightweights in the UFC by combining elite-level wrestling, strong cardio to sustain his fights, and exchanges that allow him to consistently score points. Only one of Tsarukyan’s last 12 UFC fights has gone past the first round.
For his part, Mauricio Ruffy managed to bounce back from his tough submission loss to Frenchman Benoit Saint-Denis, racking up two knockout victories. The Brazilian is one of the best strikers in the lightweight division, where he holds a significant advantage with his reach and height, though he is often outmatched when forced to defend himself on the ground. On top of that, Ruffy has only a couple of five-round fights in his MMA career.
It’s a clash of styles in the UFC, where Arman Tsarukyan is expected to come out on top, as he is a more well-rounded fighter and typically goes several rounds in his fights.
