UFC fighter Arman Tsarukyan says under which flag he prefers to go and fight.
Previously, Tsarukyan appeared in the UFC octagon with the Russian and Armenian flags. During a fight against American Beneil Dariush on December 2, the fighter showed only the Armenian flag.
— The Armenians support me because I am Armenian, I speak Armenian. I was born in Georgia, all my relatives live there, my parents speak Georgian. We moved to Russia when I was two years old, I have lived in Russia my whole life.
—Which flag do you think best represents you? Russian?
– No, Armenian, because I am Armenian. I tell everyone that I am a Russian fighter, but I represent Armenia.
—And Georgia?
“I say I was born in Georgia, I come there twice a year,” Tsarukyan said in an interview with journalist Ariel Helwani.
Tsarukyan has 21 victories and three defeats in mixed martial arts.
