BIOGRAPHY
Arman Nairovich Tsarukyan is a Russian mixed martial artist of Armenian origin,
competing in the UFC in the lightweight category. He is ranked 4th in the official UFC
lightweight ranking.
He was born on October 11, 1996. Until the age of two, the boy and his parents lived in
the small Georgian town of Akhalkalaki. Then the family moved to Khabarovsk, where
the fighter grew up and graduated from school. In the future, fans will call him
Akhalkalakets — in honor of the city in which he was born.
Arman grew up athletic and active. The boy was engaged in wrestling until the age of 14
and combined this sport with hockey. From the age of 12 to 18, he played for the
Khabarovsk Amur team and planned to become a professional hockey player. The
athlete did not get into the main team, which prompted him to take up grappling, in
which he received the title of champion of Russia. This was the beginning of a new page
in his sports biography.
