Arman Tsarukyan faces Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 331 next month

Arman Tsarukyan will compete against Mauricio Ruffy in the co-main event at UFC 331, scheduled for September 19 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The match comes after Tsarukyan's anticipated rematch with Charles Oliveira did not materialize, potentially due to Oliveira's recent personal loss. Ruffy, currently ranked No. 9 in the lightweight division, is riding momentum from two consecutive knockout victories. Tsarukyan, ranked No. 3, returns to the ring after a notable submission win over Dan Hooker, aiming to secure his position in the division following a previous withdrawal from a title fight.
