Arman Tsarukyan could fight for featherweight title, reports suggest

Reports indicate that lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan may have the opportunity to compete for the featherweight championship. This would represent a significant move down in weight class for the Armenian fighter, who currently competes at 155 pounds. Moving to featherweight would pit Tsarukyan against current champion Ilia Topuria, with whom he has been engaged in a heated verbal rivalry. The feasibility of Tsarukyan making the weight cut to 145 pounds remains a question. Details about the timing or circumstances that might lead to this title opportunity are limited in the announcement.
