Mokaev vows flyweight comeback after two-day notice loss to Tsarukyan

Muhammad Mokaev took a UFC lightweight bout on two days’ notice against Arman Tsarukyan in Brazil, facing a massive size difference (about 31 pounds/14 kg). He was choked unconscious via a rear-naked choke after eight minutes, refused to tap, and left the cage emotional. Post-fight, Mokaev said he’s returning to flyweight and won’t take such mismatches again, while Tsarukyan acknowledged the size gap and floated potential rematches with Oliveira and Danis. The bout highlighted the risks of drastic weight disparities in MMA.

Volkanovski open to Arman Tsarukyan at 145 if the challenge is right

Alexander Volkanovski says he’d welcome a drop to 145 pounds for Arman Tsarukyan if the shot at the featherweight title is possible, while he focuses on a rematch with Diego Lopes at UFC 325. He also flagged Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy as the toughest current contenders, teased Tsarukyan as a fun and legacy-worthy challenge, and noted Tsarukyan’s wrestling and striking would be a compelling test. Volkanovski even hinted at doing a ‘Cooking with Volk’ segment with Tsarukyan and acknowledged Jean Silva as a potential future title threat, though he believes the immediate picture still centers on Evloev or Murphy.
