At the pre- UFC 331 press conference , held last Thursday (17), a journalist asked Tsarukyan if the organization had promised him a title shot next, in case of victory against the Brazilian. Short and to the point, the Armenian, convinced that he will win the fight, simply ignored Ruffy and defied Dana White by saying, 'Yes'.
