On September 18 in Moscow, at the ACBJJ tournament dedicated to the memory of Alil Gaziev, UFC lightweight #1 contender Arman Tsarukyan will take part in a grappling bout. His opponent has not yet been announced.

For Tsarukyan, this will be his third grappling and jiu-jitsu match of the year. Despite holding a high position in the UFC rankings, he has not yet received the long-awaited fight inside the octagon.
