Arman Tsarukyan Defeats Benson Henderson at ACB JJ 18 (VIDEO)

The UFC lightweight No. 1 contender Arman Tsarukyan delivered a successful performance at the ACB JJ 18 grappling tournament, held on September 19 in Moscow and dedicated to the memory of Alil Gaziev.

In the main event of the evening, the 29-year-old Armenian fighter faced former UFC champion, 41-year-old Benson Henderson. The match was contested under NO-GI grappling rules and was scheduled for 10 minutes but ended early — a minute and a half before the final bell.

Tsarukyan immediately established a dominant position, worked from the top, and ultimately forced his opponent to submit with a choke.

For Arman, this victory became an important confirmation of his high grappling level as he prepares for future UFC fights.
