"Even With You": Arman Tsarukyan Boldly Claims He'd Fight Daniel Cormier on the Spot
Arman Tsarukyan was giving an interview with Daniel Cormier when he showed off his confidence, saying he would fight anyone, anywhere, even DC since he was in the same room.
Arman Tsarukyan isn't afraid to scrap with anyone, anywhere, even if that someone happens to be a former two-division UFC champion sitting across from him on a podcast set. Ahead of his high-stakes return to the Octagon at UFC 331, the top-ranked lightweight contender made a hilarious yet genuine declaration to Daniel Cormier, proving that his fight-anytime mentality never shuts off.
During a sit-down conversation on Cormier's show, Tsarukyan made it crystal clear that combat is simply encoded into his DNA. When the topic turned to his willingness to step into conflict, Tsarukyan insisted he would throw hands at a moment's notice regardless of who is standing in the room.
"I can fight anybody in this room right now," Tsarukyan told Cormier. "Even with you, I can go in a fight. I’m not scared to fight, you know. It’s a thing that I like to do."
Fearless Mindset Ahead of UFC 331 Return
While Cormier did not react to the prospect of squaring off with the 29-year-old lightweight, Tsarukyan's fearless attitude is far from empty talk. Boasting a stellar 23-3 professional MMA record, the No. 2-ranked lightweight has built his reputation on taking on all comers. After a back injury delayed his scheduled title shot at UFC 311, Tsarukyan has kept his edge sharp and his confidence sky-high.
That unapologetic attitude will be put to the test on Saturday night at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, where Tsarukyan serves as the co-main event against dangerous Brazilian striker Mauricio Ruffy. Sporting an impressive 14-2 career record, Ruffy represents a steep challenge, but Tsarukyan remains completely unbothered by the threat.
Whether he is trading verbal jabs with UFC Hall of Famers like Cormier or locking horns with elite contenders inside the cage, Tsarukyan continues to show why he is one of the most compelling personalities in combat sports. If he dispatches Ruffy in emphatic fashion, a lightweight championship opportunity will likely be next in line.
