Throughout the years, the UFC lightweight division has consistently showcased fighters with remarkably shredded physiques. As such, it has served as a benchmark for athletic excellence within the promotion. Presently, athletes like Michael Chandler, Arman Tsarukyan, and Islam Makhachev stand out for their incredible physiques.
In a recent update, Arman Tsarukyan, the Armenian fighter, shared a striking photograph showcasing his current physique. The image highlights his intense training and dedication. As such, it has ignited a buzz among fans and the wider fight community. This stir of enthusiasm comes just days before his highly anticipated championship bout at UFC 311.

When discussing Tsarukyan’s relationship with fight fans, it’s clear that it is not entirely positive. Despite his impressive fight record, Tsarukyan’s various antics have placed him in the bad books of UFC fans. Notably, after his win against Charles Oliveira, the Armenian fighter was involved in a confrontation with a fan. Since that incident, Tsarukyan has faced ongoing scrutiny from the fight community.
Most recently, Tsarukyan flaunting his wealth to the UFC CEO Dana White was also taken on negatively by the fans as they gave out criticizing responses to that. This time again, although it was a post of the Armenian fighter’s physique, it has drawn intriguing reactions from the netizens. Check out some of the reactions below.

Interestingly, while some praised Tsarukyan’s physique, many speculated about potential steroid abuse by the Armenian fighter. Additionally, some fight fans pointed out that having a great physique doesn’t always lead to victory. To illustrate this point, a few fans mentioned Michael Chandler’s recent defeat at UFC 309 against Charles Oliveira as an example.
