Armenia’s Arman Tsarukyan to UFC president: Forgive me, give me title shot

Arman Tsarukyan (Armenia), the No.1-ranked title contender in the lightweight division of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in mixed martial arts (MMA), has apologized to UFC president Dana White and asked for a title fight.

“Dana White, [UFC chief business officer] Hunter Campbell, forgive me. Give me a title shot. I will be a good boy, and I will not hit anyone again, I will try to behave correctly. In training camp, anything is possible, anyone can get injured, but there will be no more scuffles, fights with fans, headbutts,” Tsarukyan said on the YouTube channel of American former mixed martial artist Daniel Cormier.

Arman Tsarukyan has fought 26 bouts so far in MMA and won 23 of them.
