Arman Tsarukyan, Bella Mir latest additions for RAF Abu Dhabi
Arman Tsarukyan has no intention of slowing down despite his status as the UFC lightweight No. 1 contender.
Arman Tsarukyan and Bella Mir have been added to the roster for the upcoming UFC Raw Abu Dhabi event. The lightweight contender Tsarukyan, who defeated Mauricio Rua in the first round at UFC 331, will face Neiman Gracie in a catchweight bout at Etihad Arena on November 14. The event will also feature Bella Mir, who challenges Kennedy Blades for the women's middleweight title.
Both Tsarukyan and Mir will compete at RAF Abu Dhabi a month before their respective scheduled matchups. UFC lightweight contender Tsarukyan is currently booked to face Dillon Danis in the inaugural RAF middleweight crossover championship on October 23. Meanwhile, Mir will wrestle Hope Chase. Tsarukyan's impressive performance in dropping Rua in the first round of their recent bout has secured him the top spot in the UFC lightweight division.
Mir, who recently suffered a unanimous decision loss to Alex Apodaca at Dana White's Contender Series 89, remains focused on competing in both grappling and MMA.
