Arman Tsarukyan won the bout against ‘Do Bronx’ by way of a split decision. He went from being in a tough position in the initial round to dominating the number-one contender for the rest of the match. Tsarukyan has come a long way! Yet, the fight for the Armenian started outside the Octagon.
During his walkout, a fan seemed to have misbehaved with the fighter, and in response, Tsarukyan threw some hands in his direction. In his conversation with the media, Tsarukyan explained why he did that. “He showed me ‘Fu*k you’ and wanted to punch me, and I wanted to punch him back, that’s it. So, like, no one show me ‘fu*k you,’ no matter who you are, I’m gonna punch you in the face.”
