Arman Tsarukyan to Fight in Yerevan and Headline Hype Fighting Event

UFC lightweight division’s No. 1 contender Arman Tsarukyan will headline the Hype Fighting tournament, which will take place on December 30 in Yerevan, at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concert Complex.

Organizers report that the name of his opponent will be announced later. With a high degree of probability, the bout will be held under grappling or Brazilian jiu-jitsu rules rather than in the bare-knuckle format used in the rest of the event. Under UFC regulations, Arman Tsarukyan is allowed to compete only in grappling, BJJ, or other wrestling-based tournaments.

The rest of the Hype FC fight card will mainly consist of bare-knuckle fights. Well-known Armenian athletes will compete in Yerevan, including:

• Lendrush Akopyan
• Vage Sarukhanyan
• Gennady Makaryan
• Roman Kalashyan
• Taron Oganesyan
• Armen Ataev
• and others.

The tournament is expected to become one of the most spectacular combat sports events in Armenia’s history, with Arman Tsarukyan’s participation being the main highlight of the evening.
