Arman Tsarukyan Set for Submission-Only Grappling Match Against Ankit Baiyanpuria
UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan is set to return to competition on August 1, but this time in a submission-only grappling contest.
The bout will take place at Tashir Arena in Yerevan, Armenia, where he will face Indian fitness influencer Ankit Baiyanpuria under the HYPE promotion.
The matchup gives Tsarukyan another opportunity to showcase his elite grappling skills while he awaits his next UFC assignment.
Known as one of the lightweight division’s strongest wrestlers and submission specialists, Tsarukyan enters the contest as the clear favorite against Baiyanpuria, who is primarily recognized for his fitness content rather than professional combat sports.
The official announcement confirmed only the grappling match and did not include any details about Tsarukyan’s next UFC fight.
Fans will now turn their attention to Armenia on August 1 as the lightweight contender stays active before resuming his pursuit of UFC championship contention.
