Main Event: Arman Tsarukyan vs Muhammad Mokaev

The headline bout of the tournament is a high-profile clash between two elite UFC grapplers.

Arman Tsarukyan (23-3) is considered one of the most dangerous contenders in the UFC lightweight division. While waiting for his next title opportunity in the organization, the Armenian-Russian fighter continues to compete actively in grappling.

Recently, Tsarukyan competed in a freestyle wrestling match against popular grappler Giorgio Poullas at the RAF 06 tournament. The match ended in controversy due to disputed moments and chaos after the final whistle. Nevertheless, Tsarukyan was awarded the victory.

A rematch with Poullas was initially planned for HYPE FC, but the opponent withdrew from the bout. As a result, Tsarukyan received a new opponent — the undefeated Muhammad Mokaev.

Muhammad Mokaev: The Undefeated Contender

Mokaev (15-0) enters this match with strong motivation. Despite his flawless record, his UFC contract was not renewed after his victory over Manel Kape in 2024, which sparked intense discussions in the MMA industry.

Since then, the British fighter has successfully relaunched his career:

• Victory in Karate Combat

• Winning the inaugural Brave Combat Federation flyweight championship

• A spectacular high-kick knockout

Now Mokaev will test himself against a significantly larger opponent — one of the best wrestlers in the UFC lightweight division.
