Arman Tsarukyan has no intention of slowing down.
Tsarukyan has booked himself in another RAF wrestling match when he takes on ex-Bellator and PFL fighter Neiman Gracie in a catchweight crossover bout at RAF Abu Dhabi on Nov. 14, promotion officials announced Wednesday. The event will take place at Etihad Arena and will stream live on FOX Nation.
Also competing on the card is Bella Mir, who challenges Kennedy Blades for the women's middleweight title.
Both Tsarukyan and Mir are slated to compete a month prior. The top UFC lightweight contender is currently booked to face Dillon Danis for the inaugural RAF middleweight crossover championship at RAF 14 at Fontainebleau in Las Vegas on Oct. 23. Meanwhile, Mir wrestles Hope Chase.
Tsarukyan (24-3 MMA,
11-2 UFC) likely cemented himself as No. 1 contender in the UFC lightweight division when he knocked out Mauricio Ruffy in the first round at UFC 331 last month.
Mir, 23, is going ahead with her plan of competing in grappling while doing MMA. Last month, Mir lost a unanimous decision to Alex Apodaca at Dana White's Contender Series 89 in one of the biggest betting upsets in MMA history.
