PUBLICITY:

While Arman Tsarukyan has been having problems with Dana White and difficulty competing for the UFC lightweight title (up to 70,3 kg), outside of the world's largest MMA organization, his schedule is packed. So much so that the Armenian has confirmed his second fight in the final stretch of the season. On December 17th, in Russia, the athlete will face Abdul-Aziz Abdulvakhabov in a grappling match at 'ACBJJ'.

The fight was confirmed by the organization itself. And Tsarukyan's task is set to be complicated. While the Armenian is ranked first in the UFC lightweight division, Abdulvakhabov, 36, is the ACA lightweight champion and is considered by many to be one of the best Russian fighters currently active.
