Tsarukyan named his favorite childhood fighter

Arman Tsarukyan, the number one UFC lightweight ranking, named his favorite fighter as a child. According to Arman, he admired not Fedor Emelianenko, but Khabib Nurmagomedov.

"No. Khabib. When I was growing up, Khabib was in his peak form. Do we communicate with him? No, we know each other, but I don't know him too well. I can't call him and tell him anything. We're not friends. But I really like his behavior, his lifestyle," Tsarukyan said in an interview with Michael Bisping.

Earlier, Tsarukyan announced his rating of the best MMA fighters in history, putting Jon Jones in first place. Khabib in this rating was only in fifth place.
