Ranked lightweights will lock horns inside one of the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s deepest divisions when Arman Tsarukyan faces Damir Ismagulov in the UFC Fight Night 216 co-main event on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. They are set to play second fiddle to the Jared Cannonier-Sean Strickland middleweight headliner.
Tsarukyan has rattled off five victories across his past six outings. The Tiger Muay Thai rep last appeared at UFC on ESPN 38, where he dropped a five-round unanimous decision to Mateusz Gamrot on June 25.
