Tsarukyan called Mousasi a legend

Alexandr Ormanji | Published April 9, 2024, 9:21 a.m.

Arman Tsarukyan, the UFC's top lightweight, responded to a question about whether he watched the promotion's 200th anniversary tournament in 2016.

"Yes, I watched because Gegard Mousasi fought there. He's Armenian, he's a legend for us. That's why I watched that tournament. I probably had two fights in the pros then. I was very young, I was 17-18 years old. I couldn't even imagine being at UFC 300," the fighter stated.

On the night of April 13-14, Arman Tsarukyan will fight at the UFC 300th anniversary tournament, which will be held in Las Vegas. His opponent will be the organization's former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira.
