Tsarukyan Spent Much Of His Fight Camp At L.A's 'Muscle Lab'

"Arman’s mobility is truly remarkable, but he also puts in the effort to ensure it stays that way," Ourishian said of Tsarukyan's axe kick. "We stretch almost every night during Fight Week to keep him at his peak. While much of it is his natural talent, we work to enhance and fine-tune it. As Dr. Matteo Capodaglio, his nutritionist, perfectly puts it, ‘Arman is like a Ferrari, and we’re the mechanics ensuring he runs at his absolute best.’"

Tsarukyan (22-3) is currently on a four-fight win streak, with his two most recent wins coming over Charles Oliveira and Beneil Dariush.
