Russian fighter Artem Rofal, who competes for Alexander Shlemenko’s team, regretted that the American Beneil Dariush from now on, he can no longer be seriously considered for high-level fights, but the Russian Arman Tsarukyan bursts into the peaks.
At the UFC tournament in Austin this weekend, Tsarukyan knocked out Dariush in the second minute, with whom UFC champion Islam Makhachev could previously meet. Makhachev currently holds the championship belt, having made two defenses in 2023 against Alex Volkanovski. Tsarukyan lost to Makhachev in his UFC debut in 2019, but went on to win eight out of nine fights.
– This is what had to be proven. Of course, I didn’t expect such a fleeting victory, but these are fights, anything can happen. Apparently this is a tried and true combination. I’m sorry for the good Darius. Along the way, he was never destined to become UFC champion. I am happy for Arman, now all doors are open for him,” Rofal told .
Dariush suffered a second consecutive early defeat. He has 22 victories, six defeats and one draw in MMA.
