Tsarukyan Eyes New Grappling Challenges
4 Apr
Summary
- Arman Tsarukyan confirmed his interest in more grappling matches.
- He is scheduled to compete against Urijah Faber next month.
- Talks are progressing for a potential grappling bout with Mikey Musumeci.
Arman Tsarukyan is actively seeking new grappling opportunities beyond his MMA commitments. Following a recent submission win, Tsarukyan has indicated a strong desire to remain engaged in the grappling circuit. He is already scheduled to compete against Urijah Faber at RAF 6 in the upcoming month.
Further developments suggest a potential grappling matchup between Tsarukyan and Mikey Musumeci is nearing reality. Claudia Gadelha, head of jiu-jitsu strategy for UFC BJJ, confirmed that both fighters have agreed to the bout. This matchup, spurred by fan interest after an online exchange, is being finalized, with potential for an August event pending Tsarukyan's UFC schedule.
Gadelha also mentioned that the fight would occur at a catchweight to accommodate the size difference between the two grapplers. This agreement marks a significant step, with both Musumeci and Tsarukyan verbally committing, and UFC BJJ moving forward with arrangements.
