Cormier compared Tsarukyan to Khabib

Daniel Cormier, former UFC champion in two weight categories, commented on the incident involving the promotion's lightweight Arman Tsarukyan.

"Remember when Khabib grabbed Artem Lobov after the fight against McGregor? He grabbed him by the face and spanked him because that guy was talking too much. And now Tsarukyan has punched a fan. Arman and Khabib have a lot in common in terms of mentality," Cormier stated.

Tsarukyan got into a fight against Charles Oliveira on April 14 at UFC 300 in Las Vegas and got into an argument with a fan. The latter showed him an obscene gesture. In response, Arman punched him in the face.
