Arman Tsarukyan and Mateusz Gamrot were angling for a fight, and the two lightweight contenders got their wish.
Paweu0142 Wyrobek of Polsat Sport reported on Thursday that Tsarukyan and Gamrot have verbally agreed to share the Octagon at an upcoming UFC Fight Night scheduled for June. The event does not have a location or venue yet.
Tsarukyan impressed in his promotional debut, but ultimately suffered a unanimous decision loss to Islam Makhachev at UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Oleinik over three years ago. The No. 11 ranked contender has since rebounded with five consecutive wins, including ‘Performance of the Night’ awarded finishes of Christos Giagos and Joel Álvarez at UFC Vegas 37 and UFC Vegas 49, respectively.
