Fan apologizes for provoking Arman Tsarukyan at UFC 300, won’t file lawsuit after punch

Arman Tsarukyan and the UFC won’t face any legal action after he appeared to punch a fan during his walkout at UFC 300 in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

The fan in question, Obed Ardon, told Bloody Elbow on Monday that the emotions of the moment simply got to him. He was there with his brother on the floor, and insisted that he wouldn’t file a lawsuit.

“I will not sue, that never crossed my mind,” Ardon said. “My first thought was, ‘I hope I don’t get kicked out.’”

Tsarukyan got very physical with Ardon on his way into the Octagon on Saturday night.
