UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan explained why he is not training for fights in Russia, but in the United States.

"Is it possible to become a UFC champion by training only in Russia? Of course it is. Then why do I train in the USA? Since I am performing in the USA, I need a visa and accreditation, so I train and live here. If not for these additional requirements, I would be happy to stay and train in Russia," "Championship" quotes the fighter.
