Arman Tsarukyan says his next UFC fight will be in September or later this year

Arman Tsarukyan revealed his next UFC bout will take place in September or later in 2026. He explained he wore a cowboy hat at his recent fight because he bought it in Texas on a friend's suggestion. On a potential Islam Makhachev vs. Ilia Topuria fight at lightweight, Tsarukyan believes Topuria should face Islam first before fighting him, reasoning that a loss to Islam would be less damaging than losing to Tsarukyan in the lightweight division.
