Arman Tsarukyan thinks a chance encounter with Ilia Topuria will be polite.
Tsarukyan will headline UFC Qatar against Dan Hooker on Saturday at the ABHA Arena in Doha. Topuria’s brother, Aleksandre Topuria (6-1), will make his sophomore UFC appearance against Bekzat Almakhan (12-2) in a bantamweight tilt on the same card. As fighters and their teams will be staying at the same hotel, there is a chance that Tsarukyan will run into Ilia.
While Tsarukyan has been chasing a title shot against Ilia, he doesn’t have any personal feud against the lightweight champ.
