Arman Tsarukyan has added a notable victory outside the Octagon, defeating wrestling legend Uriah Faber in a wrestling bout, according to an announcement posted on April 19, 2026.
Tsarukyan, known by his nickname "Ahalkalakets," is currently ranked number one in the UFC lightweight division with a professional MMA record of 23-3-0. The 29-year-old Russian, who trains out of American Top Team, has long been regarded as one of the more well-rounded grapplers in the 155-pound weight class. His MMA numbers back that up — he averages 3.26 takedowns per 15 minutes inside the cage, complementing a striking game that sees him land 3.85 significant strikes per minute at 50 percent accuracy.

Why it matters
- Tsarukyan's success in competitive wrestling outside MMA reinforces his grappling credentials at a time when he sits one step from a lightweight title shot.
- The result adds a layer of legitimacy to his wrestling-heavy fighting style, which already produces elite takedown numbers at the highest level of MMA competition.
- Faber, a decorated combat sports veteran with a lengthy MMA career, represents a credible name on any grappling mat, making the win meaningful beyond a casual exhibition.
