Arman Tsarukyan and Ilia Topuria are both in New Jersey for UFC 328 weekend, with Ilia handling media duties and attending the UFC Freedom 250 press conference, while Arman is supporting and cornering his good friend Khamzat Chimaev ahead of his middleweight title fight against Sean Strickland.
It was confirmed last night by Dana White that Arman will serve as the backup fighter in case anything goes wrong on June 14 for the lightweight title fight, with Ilia giving his thoughts on the news.
“Yeah, he [Arman] is always a backup.”
Could we see these two cross paths again? 👀
