Tsarukyan wanted to break a fan's finger

Arman Tsarukyan, a top UFC lightweight, talked about the conflict with one of the fans that happened before his fight at UFC 300. Then one of the spectators shouted an insult to Arman and showed an obscene gesture.

"Some of the fans showed me the middle finger. I saw him with my side vision and wanted to grab and break that finger on the way to the octagon. I shooed him away, swung at him to get him to run away. There wasn't even a punch as such. Did it affect me? No. I think, on the contrary, it cheered me up, raised my heart rate. Such a mini-fight before the fight itself," said Tsarukyan.

Later, the fan who provoked the incident with Tsarukyan stated that he had no claims to the fighter.
