No. 1 UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan, while speaking about his nutritionist, confessed that he missed weight earlier this year.
Tsarukyan was slated to fight then-155-pound champion Islam Makhachev in a rematch at UFC 311. However, the Armenian fighter pulled out of the bout at the last moment because of a back injury. While some fans believed Tsarukyan hurt his back while demonstrating his flexibility to Nina Marie Daniele in a vlog, many disagreed that
‘Ahalkalakets’ suffered a back injury. Others said he was unable to make weight and withdrew before hitting the scales.
