Arman Tsarukyan says he’s fighting for UFC title this fall

Arman Tsarukyan expects to fight for a UFC title this fall after recently securing a dominant technical fall victory over Mugzy at RAF 9 in Dallas. During UFC 328 fight week, Tsarukyan told UFC executives in a vlog that his next bout is already set for championship gold, likely in September in Los Angeles. He also noted his willingness to serve as a backup fighter for a White House event should injuries or illness force a competitor to withdraw. Tsarukyan's confidence reflects his trajectory as a rising lightweight contender, though an official opponent confirmation remains pending. His dual availability—both as a title challenger and emergency reserve—keeps him centrally positioned within the promotion's near-term plans.
