The winning return of Arman Tsarukyan continued tonight at ADXC in Russia when he submitted Patricky 'Pitbull' Freire.
De Armens has had two struggling games since he was forced from UFC 311 in January in just a few hours and was unable to face Islam Makhachev. While waiting for UFC Fight News, he competes with ADXC and defeated a former Bellator champion in tonight's outing.
Now he expects to return to the Octagon for a first MMA fight since his victory over Charles Oliveira on UFC 300 more than a year ago. Whether or not he gets a chance at the winner of the UFC 317 Main Event is unclear, and he has also been locked up in a verbal back and forth with Paddy Pimblett in recent days.

Tsarukyan eventually took his rival back in the fifth and landed a rear naked choke, with a few seconds to the round. Pitbull had applied a tough fight and noticed prior to the game that a victory in such an environment could set him up for a UFC debut in the future.
The victory was Tsarukyan's second since the return to the competition in Karate Combat earlier this month. He made a decision against Makkasharip Zaynukov that night and now focuses his sights on a UFC -Comback that he is insisted on.
Paddy Pimblett had 'Nobody gives' the Arman Tsarukyan hours for great victory
Prior to tonight's gripping event, Tsarukyan was in an online words war with paddy Pimblett about a potential fight between the couple. The Brit claimed that he is not interested in being confronted with Tsarukyan and that he would rather meet Justin Gaethje afterwards.
This made the best lightweight competition angry, who replied to the story: “It was clear that you spoke about trash can with zero intention to support it. Your UFC career was built on hand -outs, hype and shortcuts to the top.”

Pimblett then became nuclear in his comeback and told Tsarukyan: “Rich boy who talks about hand -outs. You have received everything on a silver dish with your whole life by Dad you [clown].
“Never said that I would not fight you, it's just nobody to give you after withdrawn against Islam because of a 'back injury', we all know that your period was, really your sausage.”
