She’s gonna stay home. It’s a man’s sport; women should be at home. I mean, I don’t know how my mom can come and watch my fight. It’s a lot of blood, her son can get hurt, you know? I think it’s not a good place. …She just waits for the result [of the fight] and after that maybe — when I’m fighting, she’s just waiting for the result. She can’t watch.
Recall that Tsarukyan will headline UFC Fight Night 265 in Doha, Qatar, on November 22. His opponent will be New Zealander Dan Hooker.
Arman last fought Charles Oliveira in April 2024 at UFC 300, winning by split decision. His MMA record stands at 22 wins and 3 losses.
