Tsarukyan confirms UFC BJJ matchup against Mikey Musumeci

The Armenian continues to be waiting for his next outing within the UFC to be booked and he is predicted to take one other fight despite being the deserved primary contender for the title.

And while he continues to attend for the promotion to provide him one other fight, he isn’t slowing down together with his side quests.

Earlier this 12 months, Tsarukyan was called out by UFC BJJ champion, Mikey Musumeci, and the matchmaker, Claudia Gadelha stated that she desired to make the match occur.

And now, the 29-year-old has revealed that the match goes to occur in August or September.

“Yeah, it’s an actual thing, it’s probably gonna be in August or September, so, I wanna try this, I gotta do one grappling before him since it’s recent rules, I’ve gotta see how it really works,” Tsarukyan told the Ariel Helwani show.

Before Tsarukyan takes on Musumeci, who’s the champion, he has revealed that he should have one match before that because it is a component of the UFC BJJ rules.

‘Ahalkalakets’ stated that he’ll likely be back in motion on May 30 once more potentially competing on the Real American Freestyle Wrestling mats.

The event is ready to be headlined by recent UFC heavyweight Gable Steveson, who’s scheduled to tackle former UFC heavyweight Alexandr Romanov.

It continues to be unclear when he’ll actually return to the Octagon with rumors continuing to surface of a possible rematch against Charles Oliveira for the BMF title.
