Arman Tsarukyan to Reduce Suspension by 3 Months

Arman Tsarukyan, the top-ranked lighter weight fighter in the UFC, will have his suspension reduced by three months after participating in an anti-bullying video. "The suspension can be reduced, allowing him to return in six months. Arman will take advantage of this opportunity to compete in October," said the Armenian athlete's manager, Sayat Abdrakhmanov, to tass.ru.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) suspended Arman Tsarukyan for nine months for attacking a fan who showed a middle finger during the UFC 300 event in Las Vegas. Tsarukyan was also fined $25,000.
