The incident involving Arman Tsarukyan occurred before the fighter's victory against Charles Oliveira . On his way to the octagon, the lightweight (up to 70,3 kg) reacted to a fan's provocation and ended up assaulting the fan.

As an immediate action, the Nevada Athletic Commission chose to withhold athletes' scholarships. Next Tuesday (30), there will be a hearing in which the definitive punishment or acquittal of the parties will be defined.
