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

Arman Tsarukyan has climbed to the 13th position in the UFC's official pound-for-pound rankings despite not having competed in a recent UFC bout. The unusual movement in rankings has been noted with humor, as the fighter is moving up "like an elevator" without actually fighting in the octagon. This ranking change comes amid Tsarukyan's activities in grappling and wrestling competitions outside of MMA. The pound-for-pound list is typically reserved for the sport's most elite performers across all weight classes. His rise reflects the UFC's recognition of his overall combat sports achievements.
