Arman Tsarukyan got physical with a fan as he walked out for UFC 300.
Prior to defeating Charles Oliveira (34-10 MMA, 22-10 UFC) by split decision in their lightweight bout on the main card at T-Mobile Arena, Tsarukyan (22-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) threw his first punch – at someone in the crowd.
It’s unclear what got Tsarukyan riled up, but he sneaked in an overhand right on a fan as he walked out to his fight. Check out the video below (h/t Championship Rounds):

Tsarukyan, who has now won nine of his past 10, has been dealing with boos dating back to the UFC 300 Q&A. The 27-year-old called out UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, whom he lost to in his octagon debut on short notice.
