"I will unofficially be the backup for the Gaethje vs. Pimblett fight. I will approach the weight cut carefully. If needed, I'll be there. I need to stay in shape, prepare, and avoid injuries. After the new year, I will fly to the USA and be ready," Tsarukyan said.
Recall, the Pimblett vs. Gaethje fight will take place in January 2026.
