Tsarukyan Emerges from Dana White’s Doghouse Ahead of UFC 331 Return

Arman Tsarukyan has been officially out of Dana White’s doghouse and is set to return as the UFC 331 co‑main event opponent of Mauricio Ruffy in Los Angeles. White confirmed at the pre‑fight press conference that Tsarukyan’s status has improved after a long stretch marked by injuries, weight‑cut drama and tense relations with UFC, with a win potentially moving him back into title contention by 2027 (though a Topuria/Pimblett double‑header on the same night isn’t planned).

Askren's Bold Comeback After Transplant Ends in Defeat

Ben Askren returned to combat sports a year after his double lung transplant, losing 6-3 to Belal Muhammad at Real American Freestyle; ESPN noted he started strong but fatigued late, and he symbolically left his shoes on the mat after retiring from the bout. This was his first action since a 2021 Jake Paul boxing loss, and he finishes with a 19-2 MMA record (31-11 freestyle) and two-time Missouri national wrestling titles.
