Arman Tsarukyan eyes featherweight move after rematch victory over Pullasa

In the early hours of March 29, top UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan defeated Giorgi Pullasa by decision in their rematch under the RAF banner. At the post-event press conference, he reiterated that he is open to moving up to 65 kg—but only on one key condition:

"I would need four months to prepare for the weight cut."

Tsarukyan last competed in the UFC Octagon last fall, facing Dan Hooker in a bout that ended with an early victory for "Akhalkalaki"—he submitted his opponent with a choke in the second round. Currently, the featherweight division is led by Alexander Volkanovski.
