Arman Tsarukyan, the number one ranked lightweight, will not be insuring the bout between champion Islam Makhachev and Dustin Porier.
"There will be another meeting to make a final decision. Arman sent a letter on his behalf, we also sent a letter from the management company asking to reduce the period of disqualification and reduce the fine. Since the fan who provoked Arman has apologized for his act and admitted his guilt, we consider the punishment too harsh. Because of the penalty, Arman will not be able to insure the fight Makhachev - Porier", - said the functionary.
Recall that the fight between Makhachev and Porye will take place on June 1 and will headline the 302nd UFC tournament.
