I Coughed Up Blood for Two Weeks: Tsarukyan

Arman Tsarukyan spoke about the striking power of former UFC fighter Adriano Martins, with whom he had a sparring match.

“I can definitely say that he has crazy power. It’s not just a lucky punch, as people say. He hit me twice during the sparring, with such shots that… I assume no one has hit me like that before. Once he hit me, my entire eye was swollen, all blue. I don’t know… I coughed up blood for two weeks. Naturally, it was a mad hit. He just hits really hard. His right and left jabs are just insane,” he said.

Recall that on the night of January 18-19, Tsarukyan and Makhachev will fight in Inglewood (USA) in the main match of UFC 311.
