This is the story of a lightweight who was born in Georgia and could have become a hockey player.

Childhood and Youth of Arman Tsarukyan

Arman Tsarukyan was born in the small Georgian town of Akhalkalaki, where mostly Armenians live. His father Nairi Tsarukyan is engaged in the construction business. Mom’s name is Anahit Hakobyan. Armand also has a brother, Arthur, and a sister, Isabella. When the future UFC star was two years old, his father went to work in Khabarovsk and moved his family to this city.

From the age of 8, Tsarukyan played on a hockey rink, and at the age of 12 he joined the “Amur” section. Arman combined hockey training with freestyle wrestling. From three to five o’clock in the afternoon Tsarukyan was wrestling, and then from six to eight o’clock in the evening he left for hockey.

Tsarukyan left hockey at the age of 17 because he was unable to break into the Amur main team. Arman did not try himself in other teams, as he did not rate his level of play highly, and decided to concentrate on wrestling. The athlete began to practice pankration and grappling.

UFC Fight Night is set to take fans back to the UFC APEX for the final time this year, with some highly anticipated matchups scheduled for this coming Saturday.

In this article, we take a look at the six of the most interesting fights on the card, as well as the odds attached to them ahead of one of the last events of 2023.

Michael Morales vs. Jake Matthews

Michael Morales is -305 for a victory over Jake Matthews, who’s +245 to win this bout.

The fighters are very similar as they move at the same speed and register just about the same accuracy and distance defense, though Matthews’ defense from distance is lower. On another note, he has way more experience than his upcoming opponent as this will be his 19th fight in UFC while Morales only has four under his belt.

It does read as if Matthews is an aged veteran, but he’s only 29. He’s our favorite for this one given the huge difference in experience.

On Saturday, January 20th 2024, Ultimate Fighting Championship will return to Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada with a big card. Two title belts will be on the line, with newly crowned middleweight king Sean Strickland taking on South Africa’s Dricus Du Plessis in his first attempted title defense.  Meanwhile, Raquel Pennington and Mayra Bueno Silva will battle it out for the Women’s bantamweight title, which was vacated by the recently retired Amanda Nunes.
