Arman Tsarukyan vs. Benson Henderson result

Arman Tsarukyan squared off against former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson at ACBJJ 18.

Their no-gi super fight was the main event of a grappling card in Moscow, Russia, on Friday night.

Tsarukyan went hunting for chokes from the very start of his match with Henderson, who did well to fend them off until the very end.

Ultimately, the number one UFC lightweight contender locked up an arm triangle choke to win the bout.

Henderson was left unconscious on the canvas after refusing to tap out against Tsarukyan.

Thankfully, he quickly regained his senses and shared a friendly embrace with his latest opponent.

Arman Tsarukyan’s recent grappling record

Arman Tsarukyan’s submission grappling run started with a win over Khabib Nurmagomedov’s teammate.

In May, the Armenian fighter outpointed Makasharip Zaynukov over five rounds at Karate Combat 54.

A few weeks later, Tsarukyan choked out a Bellator legend in his cage return at ADXC 10.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Patricky Pitbull tapped out when he was caught in a rear-naked choke.

Tsarukyan’s latest grappling win over Henderson will hopefully be the last before he returns to the UFC Octagon for a proper fight.
