Demetrious Johnson spots his lesson in Arman Tsarukyan's UFC 331 KO
Demetrious Johnson claims Arman Tsarukyan put a lesson from their training session together to good use in his recent bout.
Demetrious Johnson praised Arman Tsarukyan's performance in his recent UFC 331 match, where Tsarukyan delivered a knockout with an elbow strike at the 4:56 mark of the first round. According to Johnson, he taught Tsarukyan a specific technique during their training sessions that he effectively employed against Mauricio Ruffy. In a YouTube video, Johnson explained that he advised Tsarukyan to focus on striking in close range instead of attempting additional takedowns.
He emphasized that Tsarukyan should not resort to wrestling with Ruffy once he was pinned against the Octagon wall. Johnson further supported Tsarukyan's case for a title shot, arguing that his aggressive approach in close quarters would be crucial for his upcoming bout against lightweight champion Justin Gaethje. Johnson believes that Gaethje's pace and grappling abilities make him a formidable opponent, and Tsarukyan needs to adapt to counter these challenges effectively.
