Russia might just have found another top-rated lightweight prospect and rising UFC star in Arman Tsarukyan. The 24-year-old, currently on a two-fight win in the UFC, defeated Davi Ramos at UFC Fight Night 173. Since Russia already has two world champions in Khabib Nurmagomedov and Petr Yan, Tsarukyan wants to script his journey in fashion. In the post-fight press conference, Tsarukyan [http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/eae48ff31db420c2] reflected on his latest win over Ramos. He also chalked up some plans for his upcoming UFC ride. But, surprisingly, he called out Al I Iaquinta for a matchup. ‘Ahalkalakets’ poured respect on Al for his lightweight dominance. But he equally appeared confident about vanquishing the ‘Raging’ inside the octagon.

Although he is yet to get into the top 10 lightweight rankings, Tsarukyan has already made up his mind regarding a couple of fights. When asked about his next fight at the post-fight interview, as per MMA Fighting [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzDnb1-Mvrs&feature=youtu.be], Tsarukyan said, “I want to fight these top 15, top 10, because my opponent was very great and first Islam and next another guy and now Davi Ramos is a really strong guy. I think I can fight everybody”. Yet, the Russian specially mentioned Al Iaquinta in the process. And it seems that Al’s commendable performance against Khabib Nurmagomedov is the reason. “I want to fight Iaquinta because I like him, he is very open and (after) his fight is Khabib Nurmagomedov, everybody knows him in Russia. I think it’s a good fight for me.” However, the matchup is still up in the air at this point. Al Iaquinta is now the number 10th ranked lightweight. Thus, he has got pretty more options other than Arman Tsarukyan in the 155 lbs roster. Meanwhile, Tsarukyan is just 3-fights old in UFC. After an unsuccessful debut against Islam Makhachev in 2019, he is on a two-fight win streak. However, he still has to cover a lot of fights in 155 lbs to earn a shot at the top-10. Yet, it isn’t stopping the Russian from determining his upcoming UFC opponents.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Arman Tsarukyan: Net Worth 2024, Record, Salary, and Endorsements</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Arman Tsarukyan? </strong></h2>
#4 ranked UFC lightweight contender <strong>Arman Tsarukyan</strong> is all set to go up against former divisional champion <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-oliveira/"><strong>Charles Oliveira</strong></a> at UFC 300. The lightweight contest is going to be one of the most exciting ones on the incredibly stacked card of a pay-per-view that <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dana-white/"><strong>Dana White</strong></a> has promised to be one of the best.

Of course, every 3ooth PPV happens to be big. Tsarukyan is coming off a win over lightweight mainstay <strong>Beneil Dariush</strong> and will prove to be a great fight for 'Do Bronx' who might be well on his way towards title contendership. So, here's more about the Armenian fighter.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Arman Tsarukyanâ€™s early life</strong></h2>
Arman Tsarukyan was born on the 11th of October, 1996 in Akhalkalaki, Georgia. This is perhaps also where his nickname 'Akhalkalakets' comes from. Nairi Tsarukyan, his father, is a businessman with three kids. The UFC lightweight is the middle child with a younger sister and an older brother. His mother's name is Anahit Hakobyan.

</div></blockquote>
He and his family moved away to Russia when the fighter was merely three years old. Since then, Tsarukyan grew to like many sporting activities, with freestyle wrestling and hockey taking precedence. However, after a decade of Ice Hockey, he had to abandon the sport to aid his father's construction business.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Arman Tsarukyanâ€™s partner and children</strong></h2>
Tsarukyan got married to his wife Milena on the 19th of April, 2019. He is a father to two daughters as of now, his youngest who was born in 2020, and then, another daughter who came in 2022. <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-is-arman-tsarukyan-married-wife-girlfriend-relationships-and-all-we-know-about-the-ufc-lightweight/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Having two baby daughters</a> makes it difficult for him to stay away, but his family is very supportive.

His father, however, has asked Tsarukyan for a boy child.Â <em>"'You're a sportsman . . . you cannot do like one boy for me?'" </em>Tsarukyan joked in an interview with ESPN talking about his father's wish.Â <em>"He's waiting for like man, you know?"</em> He explained that the reason might be because his father has two sons and one daughter.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Arman Tsarukyanâ€™s net worth 2024</strong></h2>
Arman Tsarukyan was last seen going up against Beneil Dariush who was the 4th ranked lightweight fighter at the time. After winning his stoppage victory against him, Tsarukyan was awarded a $50,000 performance of the night bonus by the UFC.

Tsarukyan allegedly made around $500k for his main event victory over Dariush, and after a thrilling record of 21 wins and 3 losses, his net worth can be estimated at around $1.5 million. His money comes not only from his fights but from various endorsements.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Arman Tsarukyanâ€™s career timeline</strong></h2>
The 27-year-old is currently on a three-win fight streak. The last time he lost was against <strong>Mateusz Gamrot</strong> at UFC on ESPN 38 in their main event fight. Before that unanimous decision loss, he was already on a five-fight win streak, having defeated the likes of Davi Ramos, Matt Frevola, and Joel Alvarez.

After his loss to Gamrot in June 2022, Tsarukyan would go on to defeat Damir Ismagulov at UFC 216, Joaquim Silva at UFC on ESPN 47, and finally, Dariush at UFC on ESPN 52. Now, he's up against perhaps one of his toughest opponents ever, Charles Oliveira at UFC 300.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Arman Tsarukyanâ€™s contracts</strong></h2>
The lightweight fighter reportedly signed a four-fight deal with the UFC back in 2020. This was before he took on and defeated Ramos in July 2020 and since then, he has gone on to fight seven times. Clearly, his contract was extended by the UFC after seeing his great potential.

Perhaps after the many wins, his salary too was increased to almost $100k per fight. Fighting Oliveira might give him even bigger opportunities and better contracts moving forward.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Arman Tsarukyanâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</strong></h2>
Arman Tsarukyan has found endorsements and partnerships from multiple brands. One of his most famous partnerships is with Sanabul, a brand that makes gear for combat sports. The brand celebrated its first-round KO against Dariush in December 2023.

https://twitter.com/Sanabul/status/1731143543152873557

He's also got deals with Full Violence, a clothing line famous for collaborating with UFC fighters such as <strong>Sean Strickland</strong>, Charles Oliveira, and more. Some of his other deals include VEM Exotic Rentals, <span style="font-weight: 400">PARI, and Azat Mard.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Arman Tsarukyanâ€™s career stats and records</strong></h2>
Tsarukyan has racked up an impressive record of 21-3 in his professional MMA career. Of these, 10 fights are with the UFC out of which he's managed to win a staggering 8 losing only to Gamrot and the reigning lightweight champion, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/islam-makhachev/"><strong>Islam Makhachev</strong></a> in the past.

Having a balanced graph might be his specialty as he's secured 9 wins by knockout, 5 by submission, and 7 by decisions. At 155 pounds, the fighter has dominated most matches and is currently on a 3-fight win streak. Will this streak continue with Oliveira? Only time can tell.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Arman Tsarukyanâ€™s major achievement and awards</strong></h2>
Arman Tsarukyan has managed to win Fight of the Night bonuses even when he lost against Islam Makhachev and Mateusz Gamrot at UFC Fight Night 149 and UFC ESPN 38. The other times, he received a Performance of the Night bonus.

Arman Tsarukyan

Arman Tsarukyan: Net Worth 2024, Record, Salary, and Endorsements Who is Arman Tsarukyan? #4 ranked UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan is all set to go up against former divisional champion Charles Oliveira at UFC 300. The lightweight contest is going to be one of the most exciting ones on the incredibly stacked card of a pay-per-view that Dana White has promised to be one of the best. Of course, every 3ooth PPV happens to be big. Tsarukyan is coming off a win over lightweight mainstay Beneil Dariush and will prove to be a great fight for &#8216;Do Bronx&#8217; who might be well on his way towards title contendership. So, here&#8217;s more about the Armenian fighter. Arman Tsarukyanâ€™s early life Arman Tsarukyan was born on the 11th of October, 1996 in Akhalkalaki, Georgia. This is perhaps also where his nickname &#8216;Akhalkalakets&#8217; comes from. Nairi Tsarukyan, his father, is a businessman with three kids. The UFC lightweight is the middle child with a younger sister and an older brother. His mother&#8217;s name is Anahit Hakobyan.       View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Arman Tsarukyan (@arm_011)  He and his family moved away to Russia when the fighter was merely three years old. Since then, Tsarukyan grew to like many sporting activities, with freestyle wrestling and hockey taking precedence. However, after a decade of Ice Hockey, he had to abandon the sport to aid his father&#8217;s construction business. Arman Tsarukyanâ€™s partner and children Tsarukyan got married to his wife Milena on the 19th of April, 2019. He is a father to two daughters as of now, his youngest who was born in 2020, and then, another daughter who came in 2022. Having two baby daughters makes it difficult for him to stay away, but his family is very supportive. His father, however, has asked Tsarukyan for a boy child.Â &#8220;&#8216;You&#8217;re a sportsman . . . you cannot do like one boy for me?'&#8221; Tsarukyan joked in an interview with ESPN talking about his father&#8217;s wish.Â &#8220;He&#8217;s waiting for like man, you know?&#8221; He explained that the reason might be because his father has two sons and one daughter. Arman Tsarukyanâ€™s net worth 2024 Arman Tsarukyan was last seen going up against Beneil Dariush who was the 4th ranked lightweight fighter at the time. After winning his stoppage victory against him, Tsarukyan was awarded a $50,000 performance of the night bonus by the UFC. Tsarukyan allegedly made around $500k for his main event victory over Dariush, and after a thrilling record of 21 wins and 3 losses, his net worth can be estimated at around $1.5 million. His money comes not only from his fights but from various endorsements. Arman Tsarukyanâ€™s career timeline The 27-year-old is currently on a three-win fight streak. The last time he lost was against Mateusz Gamrot at UFC on ESPN 38 in their main event fight. Before that unanimous decision loss, he was already on a five-fight win streak, having defeated the likes of Davi Ramos, Matt Frevola, and Joel Alvarez. After his loss to Gamrot in June 2022, Tsarukyan would go on to defeat Damir Ismagulov at UFC 216, Joaquim Silva at UFC on ESPN 47, and finally, Dariush at UFC on ESPN 52. Now, he&#8217;s up against perhaps one of his toughest opponents ever, Charles Oliveira at UFC 300. Arman Tsarukyanâ€™s contracts The lightweight fighter reportedly signed a four-fight deal with the UFC back in 2020. This was before he took on and defeated Ramos in July 2020 and since then, he has gone on to fight seven times. Clearly, his contract was extended by the UFC after seeing his great potential. Perhaps after the many wins, his salary too was increased to almost $100k per fight. Fighting Oliveira might give him even bigger opportunities and better contracts moving forward. Arman Tsarukyanâ€™s partnerships and endorsements Arman Tsarukyan has found endorsements and partnerships from multiple brands. One of his most famous partnerships is with Sanabul, a brand that makes gear for combat sports. The brand celebrated its first-round KO against Dariush in December 2023. https://twitter.com/Sanabul/status/1731143543152873557 He&#8217;s also got deals with Full Violence, a clothing line famous for collaborating with UFC fighters such as Sean Strickland, Charles Oliveira, and more. Some of his other deals include VEM Exotic Rentals, PARI, and Azat Mard. Arman Tsarukyanâ€™s career stats and records Tsarukyan has racked up an impressive record of 21-3 in his professional MMA career. Of these, 10 fights are with the UFC out of which he&#8217;s managed to win a staggering 8 losing only to Gamrot and the reigning lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev in the past. Having a balanced graph might be his specialty as he&#8217;s secured 9 wins by knockout, 5 by submission, and 7 by decisions. At 155 pounds, the fighter has dominated most matches and is currently on a 3-fight win streak. Will this streak continue with Oliveira? Only time can tell. Arman Tsarukyanâ€™s major achievement and awards Arman Tsarukyan has managed to win Fight of the Night bonuses even when he lost against Islam Makhachev and Mateusz Gamrot at UFC Fight Night 149 and UFC ESPN 38. The other times, he received a Performance of the Night bonus.

A name that needs no introduction, Khabib Nurmagomedov is a retired MMA fighter who is an absolute legend and retired from the sport undefeated. This combat Sambo specialist is known for his dominant wrestling and grappling skills, alongside extraordinary ground control.

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="1200"]<img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-938744056" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0040758407h.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="762" /> via Imago[/caption]

The first Muslim to have won a UFC title, Nurmagomedov's influence extends way beyond the octagon, especially in Russia, his home. So here's a peek at the life of 'The Eagle' from the mountains of Dagestan, who vanquished all the UFC middleweight contenders.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedovâ€™s early life</strong></h2>
<strong>Khabib Abdulmanapovich Nurmagomedov</strong>Â was born into an Avar family on September 20, 1988, in Sildi village, located in the Tsumadinsky District of the Dagestan ASSR in the former Soviet Union, which is now part of Russia. His father,Â <strong>Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov</strong>, was a decorated athlete and war veteran. Khabib has two siblings, an older brother namedÂ <strong>Muhammad Nurmagomedov</strong>Â and a younger sister namedÂ <strong>Amina Nurmagomedov</strong>. He received his early education in his village's local school, where his father guided him in combat training from a young age.

When he was fifteen, the family moved to Makhachkala, where he continued wrestling training and began taking judo classes. Khabib found the switch from wrestling to judo difficult, but his father insisted that Khabib learn how to compete in a gi jacket.

In addition to his fighting training, Khabib continued his schooling, enrolling in the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics and was a third-year student as of 2019. Despite his academic pursuits, Khabib remained focused on his combat sports career.

Khabib Nurmagomedov's father was Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov and his mother's name is not disclosed. Abdulmanap was a highly respected MMA coach and former wrestler who trained numerous champions, including his own son Khabib. He was known for his innovative training methods and his ability to inspire his fighters to achieve their full potential. He also played a key role in the development of MMA in Dagestan, Russia, where he founded and ran a successful gym.

Khabib's mother was a homemaker who played a crucial role in supporting her husband's coaching career and raising their kids. In fact,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-im-only-32-years-old-khabib-nurmagomedov-reveals-whether-he-would-return-to-ufc-with-his-mothers-permission/" target="_self" rel="noopener">it was due to his mother's promise that Khabib retired from fighting</a>.

Sadly, Abdulmanap passed away in 2020 after complications from COVID-19, leaving a legacy that will continue to inspire generations of fighters to come.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Â Khabib Nurmagomedovâ€™s wife and children</strong></h2>
Khabib Nurmagomedov and his wife Patimat Nurmagomedov tied the knot in June 2013. Not much information is available on his wife as she does not have any social media presence, and Khabib has always maintained privacy regarding his personal life.

The couple has three children. Their firstborn was a daughter named Fatima Nurmagomedov, born on 1 June 2015. Two years later, they welcomed a son named Magomed Nurmagomedov, named after Khabib's great-grandfather, on 30 December 2017. Another son, Husayn Nurmagomedov, was born on 22 December 2019.

Despite Khabib's fame as a professional fighter, his family of five lives a private life away from the public eye. They keep their personal life out of the spotlight and focus on spending time together as a family.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedovâ€™s net worth 2024</strong></h2>

Nurmagomedov was awarded a whopping $6,877,500 for his second title defense against Dustin Poirier. As per reports, 'The Eagle' has made $21,720,200 in his 13 UFC fights. <strong>'The Eagle' has an estimated net worth of $40 million.</strong>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedovâ€™s career timeline</strong></h2>
Khabib Nurmagomedov burst onto the MMA scene with a bang in 2008 when he made his debut. He secured an impressive four wins in just one month, three of which were on a single day. He continued to compete in various tournaments and championships until he set his sights on joining the UFC.

After amassing a record of 16 wins outside of the UFC, Khabib finally made his UFC debut in 2012, and it was a resounding success. He defeated Kamal Shalorus by submission in the third round and continued his path of destruction from his previous victories outside the octagon. He went on to defeat the likes of Gleison Tibau, Edson Barboza, Michael Johnson, and Thiago Tavares before embarking on his title run.

Despite his dominant performances, Khabib's championship pursuits were stalled by a series of injuries and missed opportunities. However, he remained steadfast in his training and skill refinement. Eventually, he earned a shot at the UFC lightweight title in 2018 against Al Iaquinta. That fight saw Iaquinta stepping up on short notice, leading to Khabib living his dream.

After that, in a highly anticipated showdown with champion<strong>Â Conor McGregor</strong>, Khabib delivered a dominant performance, submitting his opponent in the fourth round to claim the belt.

However, in October 2020, Khabib announced his retirement from MMA, citing personal reasons and a desire to focus on his family and other endeavors.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedovâ€™s MMA promotion - Eagle FC</strong></h2>
One of these endeavors is his role as a promoter for the MMA organization Eagle FC, which he founded in 2019. Drawing on his experience as a fighter and coach, Khabib is working to develop a new generation of talented fighters and promote the sport in his home country of Russia and beyond.

<h3 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc">Petr Yan: Net Worth 2024, Salary, Record, and Endorsements</h3>
<a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/petr-yan/" target="_self" rel="noopener"><strong>Petr Yan</strong></a>, a Russian mixed martial artist, and the former UFC bantamweight champion, is truly a one of a kind fighter. With an impressive record of 16 wins and only 5 losses, Yan has established himself as a fierce competitor in the octagon. Known for his striking skills, particularly his devastating power and precision, Yan has earned several notable victories over top-ranked opponents, including <strong>Urijah Faber</strong>Â and UFC Hall of FamerÂ <strong>Jose Aldo</strong>. In addition to his striking, Yan has also demonstrated strong grappling abilities and impressive defensive skills, making him a well-rounded fighter.

In 2013, Yan made a spectacular MMA debut, when he knocked out his opponent,Â <strong>Murad Bakiev</strong>, in the third round. As of March 2023, he finds himself at #2 in the UFC bantamweight rankings aiming to win the bantamweight title yet again. In his short UFC career, he has been impressive with his crisp boxing, calm attitude, and very underrated grappling.

Yan's fight style varies throughout the rounds and changes according to the opponents. The Russian fighter is one of the best examples of mixing up creativity and sound technique with ruthless aggression and poised thinking inside the octagon.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-1691651914 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-1691651914" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1255671153.jpg" /></div>

<p id="node---32788-figcap">via Getty</p>

</figcaption></figure>
Yan starts slowly and increases his pace as the fight progresses. 'No Mercy' tries to get a read on his opponent in the opening rounds, and once he has the range down; he pushes the pace. Yan commits to most of his strikes with ill intentions. That said, his hands are always there to protect his chin. Also, he is very good at rolling with the punches and tucking his chin down.

He is prominently a striker. Since nothing much about his professional wrestling background is available, his solid wrestling game comes as a surprise. That said, his wrestling coach,Â <strong>Frank Hickman</strong>, mentioned that Yan is a fast learner and has incredible athleticism.

'No Mercy' is probably one of the best boxers in the entire UFC. Also, his attacks come from both angles. From both the stances, the Russian fighter is good both offensively and defensively.
