“Literally Bruce Wayne”: Joe Rogan compares Arman Tsarukyan to Batman and praises his work ethic

Arman Tsarukyan has earned a lot of praise for the skills he shows inside the octagon, but his life outside it has also become a talking point among fans. Recently, UFC commentator Joe Rogan weighed in on Armenian lightweight contender’s lifestyle and compared him to Bruce Wayne, the fictional billionaire behind the Batman persona. 

Joe Rogan labels Arman Tsarukyan the UFC’s real-life Bruce Wayne

In episode 185 of JRE MMA Show,  Rogan sat down with UFC fighter Ethyn Ewing. They discussed a variety of topics. At one point, they discussed Tsarukyan's activity outside UFC; the UFC commentator praised the lightweight for staying active by taking grappling matches and also lauded him for his media activity. 

Rogan then pointed to Tsarukyan’s impressive physique and wealthy upbringing before making the Batman comparison.

“He's fucking shredded, and he grew up rich,” Rogan told Ewing. “Literally Bruce Wayne. He's always got Ferraris and s**h. He rolls into LA. First thing he does is goes and rents a Lamborghini.”

Rogan highlighted the lavish lifestyle of Tsarukyan, noting that he arrives in luxury cars for training. He also gave credit to Armenia for his continued, relentless training, even though he could potentially have lived a comfortable lifestyle because of his financial background.

“So when he shows up at training, he's driving around a rented Lamborghini everywhere. He's got that kind of scratch, and yet he's training like a fucking absolute animal and he's a great fighter,” Rogan added.

Ironically, Rogan is not the only one to make the observation of similarities between the lightweight fighter’s life and the character of a superhero; fans have increasingly been calling the Armenian “the Batman of the UFC.” 

It seems like Tsarukyan liked the idea of being associated with a superhero. The lightweight contender recently changed his nickname to “Batman,” turning a fan-created nickname into part of his fighting identity.

As for his MMA career,  Tsarukyan is scheduled to take on Ruffy in the co-main event of UFC 331 in a five-round bout. Rogan has also shared his take on the fight. 

Joe Rogan questions whether Mauricio Ruffy can survive Arman Tsarukyan’s wrestling

In the above-mentioned video, Rogan expressed excitement about Tsarukyan vs. Ruffy and highlighted the Brazilian fight with Benoit Saint Denis, where he faced adversity, was easily taken down, and lost the fight via submission. 

Rogan raised a question about whether  Ruffy would avoid getting taken down by Tsarukyan, as he had been submitted by grapplers like Saint Denis. 

“That's a really good fight… When you think about Ruffy, the real problem that he had in the UFC was that one fight with Benoit Saint Denis where he got taken down and Benoit is obviously a very elite grappler. So it'd be interesting to see if he can avoid Arman ,” Rogan said.
