Arman Tsarukyan
Career overview
Arman Tsarukyan holds a professional record of 23-3-0 and competes as an orthodox lightweight standing 5'7" with a 72-inch reach. The Armenian fighter operates as a well-rounded mixed martial artist who combines effective grappling with measured striking output.
Tsarukyan averages 3.85 strikes landed per minute with 50% accuracy while maintaining solid defensive mechanics at 54% strike defense, absorbing just 1.80 strikes per minute. His grappling arsenal defines his approach—he averages 3.26 takedown attempts per 15 minutes with 75% takedown defense, though his 37% takedown accuracy reflects selective rather than aggressive wrestling.
Recent performances underscore his finishing ability: he submitted Dan Hooker in the second round in November 2025, knocked out Joaquim Silva in the third round in June 2023, and decisioned Olivier Aubin-Mercier in 2019. His lone recent setback came via unanimous decision against Mateusz Gamrot in June 2022, a five-round battle that tested his cardio and output.
With seven wins in his last eight fights, Tsarukyan has reestablished himself as a dangerous contender in the lightweight division capable of winning through submission, knockout, or attrition.
