Arman Tsarukyan Teases Featherweight Jump, Taunts Volkanovski, Says UFC Return Date Is Set

Tsarukyan frames recent grappling wins as leverage for his next move.

Overview

  • The No. 2 lightweight told fans he would beat Alexander Volkanovski, retire him, and "hire him as my chef," a jab delivered during an Aviator video exchange.
  • He says he can make 145 pounds and would commit to several fights at featherweight rather than a one-off drop.
  • Tsarukyan claims he has a UFC return date following discussions with executive Hunter Campbell, though no bout has been announced.
  • He insists no current UFC rival can trouble him on the ground, pointing to recent non‑UFC wins that include submitting Dan Hooker and choking out Muhammad Mokaev, plus victories over Benson Henderson, Patricky Pitbull and Lance Palmer.
  • His next booking is a grappling rematch with Georgio Poullas at RAF07, a pairing remade after their first meeting erupted into a post‑match brawl.
