Arman Tsarukyan has been handed a surprising opponent for his return to the Octagon, with the lightweight contender facing Mauricio Ruffy in the co-main event of UFC 331.
Tsarukyan had been expected to face “Baddest Motherf*****” champion Charles Oliveira in a rematch of their 2024 bout, which Tsarukyan narrowly won on points. But instead, he will face a different Brazilian on 19 September: fellow contender Ruffy.
