In recent weeks, the athlete has been seen enjoying seafood at a luxury restaurant and even fast food on a private jet. Despite the apparent extravagances, he even showed that he weighed 78 kg in a video posted on social media.

Despite being ranked number one in the lightweight division (up to 70,3 kg) and coming off victories against names of the caliber of Charles Oliveira and Dan Hooker , the Armenian fighter has no scheduled title fight in the world's largest MMA organization. Dana White's dislike for the athlete stems from several incidents, such as his controversial withdrawal before UFC 311 and his suspension after assaulting a fan.

Therefore, he has dedicated his time to competing in submission events . With wins against names like Patricky Pitbull and Benson Henderson, he will face Shara Bullet next Tuesday (30).
