Arman Tsarukyan, a contender for the UFC lightweight title, made a bold statement in an effort to secure a fight with champion Ilia Topuria.
Recently, it became known that Topuria plans to sell his house in Madrid for $3.5 million. In response, Tsarukyan offered to buy the property in exchange for the champion's agreement to fight.
In recent months, Tsarukyan's situation in the title race has been complicated by several scandals, which, according to sources, have negatively affected his relationship with UFC president Dana White. Nevertheless, the fighter continues to actively pursue the opportunity to compete for the championship belt.
Previously, Topuria stated that he would rather relinquish the title than step into the octagon against Tsarukyan. However, the Armenian athlete's proposal has reignited discussions about a potential matchup.
Tsarukyan also does not rule out the possibility of changing weight classes and is considering a move to the featherweight division if the situation in the lightweight category does not improve.
The atmosphere surrounding UFC title fights remains tense, and the future of both Topuria and Tsarukyan continues to generate significant interest among sports fans.
