Spertsyan on Tsarukyan: “I follow his fights and hope for a title shot in the UFC”

Krasnodar midfielder Eduard Spertsyan shared his thoughts on Arman Tsarukyan’s UFC prospects, noting that he closely follows his fellow Armenian’s career.

“I watch Arman’s fights. I hope he gets a title fight in the UFC soon. He deserves it,” Spertsyan told RB Sport.

The footballer's comment came shortly after Tsarukyan attended the Krasnodar vs CSKA match on February 3 in Abu Dhabi during the first round of the Winline Winter Cup. The game ended 2–2 in regular time, with CSKA winning 5–4 in the penalty shootout.

Tsarukyan actively engages with the Russian football community: earlier, he posted a photo with Krasnodar owner Sergey Galitsky, thanking him for his contribution to the city and club.
