A woman approached Arman Tsarukyan and asked him to inquire with Dana White about becoming a UFC ring girl. Tsarukyan informed her that UFC is looking for tall models. When the woman asked if that meant she wasn't a model, Tsarukyan bluntly told her "No, you're not a model." The exchange was captured on video. Details about the woman's identity or background are not provided in the post.
Arman Tsarukyan found himself at the center of an awkward viral moment after a woman asked him to put in a word with Dana White about becoming a UFC ring girl, only for the lightweight contender to deliver a blunt verdict on her chances.
In a video that circulated online, the woman approached Tsarukyan and requested he pass along her interest to the UFC's president. Tsarukyan told her the promotion is specifically seeking tall models. When she pressed him on whether that disqualified her, the Armenian-Russian fighter did not soften his response, flatly telling her she did not meet the standard.
Tsarukyan, nicknamed "Ahalkalakets," is currently ranked first in the UFC's lightweight division. The 29-year-old holds a professional record of 23-3-0 and trains out of American Top Team. Standing five-foot-seven with a 72-inch reach, the orthodox fighter has built a reputation as one of the most well-rounded competitors in the 155-pound class, averaging 3.85 significant strikes landed per minute at 50 percent accuracy while also threatening opponents on the mat with 3.26 takedown attempts per 15 minutes.
