Representing American Top Team, the Armenian-Russian lightweight Arman Tsarukyan is known for his aggressive pressure-based style, which relies heavily on his background in submission grappling and freestyle wrestling. Since joining the UFC in 2019 following a stint in regional promotions, he has ascended the rankings by securing notable finishes over elite athletes such as Dan Hooker, Charles Oliveira, and Beneil Dariush.

Currently holding a 23-3-0 professional record, Tsarukyan is riding a five-fight hot streak. His recent momentum includes a November 2025 arm-triangle submission of Dan Hooker, a 2024 split-decision victory over Charles Oliveira, and a knockout win against Beneil Dariush. He also added wins over Damir Ismagulov and Joaquim Silva to this impressive run.
