Arman Tsarukyan climbs to #13 in UFC pound-for-pound rankings without fighting

Arman Tsarukyan has risen to the 13th position in the UFC's pound-for-pound rankings despite not having competed in a UFC bout recently. The lightweight contender moved up two spots in the rankings following his recent success in wrestling and grappling competitions outside the UFC. The post humorously noted that Tsarukyan is rising "like an elevator" in the rankings without actually fighting in the octagon. This unusual situation highlights how the UFC sometimes factors in achievements outside their own events when updating rankings. Tsarukyan's performances in other combat sports disciplines have evidently impressed enough to warrant this ranking adjustment.
