UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan explained why he does not invite Khamzat Chimaev to his performances.

“He called me right after the performance at the RAF06 tournament and said, 'Brother, should I fly in?' I said, 'Don't come. Calm down.' He replied, 'Why didn't you invite me? When you have a fight, you never invite me. I need to be here.'

We shouldn't show up together at fights. Which one of us is more reckless? Him, of course. Doesn’t he often get into fights? Because everyone is afraid of him,” Tsarukyan said on Ariel Helwani's podcast.
