Tsarukyan rises to #13 in pound-for-pound rankings without fighting

Arman Tsarukyan has climbed to 13th place in the UFC's pound-for-pound rankings despite not having competed in a UFC bout recently. The ranking improvement came after Tsarukyan's successful performances in freestyle wrestling and grappling tournaments. The humorous observation was made that he's ascending the rankings 'like an elevator' without stepping into the octagon. This unusual situation demonstrates how the UFC rankings can be influenced by a fighter's activities outside of traditional MMA competition. Tsarukyan's grappling prowess has evidently earned him recognition even without recent cage action.
