RBP partnered with Arman Tsarukyan, the #1 contender in the UFC's lightweight division. RBP, a brand of Turbo Wholesale Tires, named Tsarukyan as its first brand ambassador. The partnership includes promotional appearances, print and social media campaigns, and a joint apparel line.
Arman Tsarukyan became a brand ambassador for Aviator, SPRIBE's flagship crash game. He joins a roster of other UFC athletes and is involved in promotional efforts.
Santo Studio collaborated with Arman Tsarukyan to release a limited-edition Armenian Heritage collection. This collaboration represents one of Santo Studio's most authentic partnerships.
Arman Tsarukyan was born on October 11, 1996, into an Armenian family in Akhalkalaki, Georgia. At the age of three, his family relocated to Russia. In his youth, Tsarukyan participated in various sports, beginning with freestyle wrestling and later playing ice hockey for ten years, including a stint with the junior team of Hockey Club Amur. His early athletic background built a foundation for his physical discipline and competitive drive. As he approached adulthood, he transitioned from hockey to support his father in the construction business, demonstrating a foundational commitment to family responsibilities before fully pursuing his professional fighting career.
Tsarukyan made his professional mixed martial arts debut in 2015, securing a first-round technical knockout victory against Shamil Olokhanov. After an initial loss, he amassed a remarkable 12-fight winning streak, including a submission victory against Alexander Belikh, avenging his earlier defeat. This impressive run, which included 9 finishes, led to him signing a four-fight contract with the UFC. His UFC debut on April 20, 2019, was against future lightweight champion Islam Makhachev at UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Oleinik. Despite losing by unanimous decision, his performance was noted for its high-level wrestling exchanges and earned him a ‘Fight of the Night’ bonus, establishing him as a significant contender in the lightweight division. His consistent progression continued with subsequent victories, solidifying his position within the competitive landscape of the UFC.
Throughout his UFC career, Tsarukyan has demonstrated a steady climb through the rankings. He secured unanimous decision victories against Olivier Aubin-Mercier in July 2019 and Davi Ramos in July 2020. In January 2021, he defeated Matt Frevola by unanimous decision, followed by a first-round technical knockout against Christos Giagos in September 2021, which earned him a ‘Performance of the Night’ award. He continued this momentum with a TKO win over Joel Álvarez in February 2022, receiving another ‘Performance of the Night’ bonus. A notable fight against Mateusz Gamrot in June 2022, though a unanimous decision loss, was highly contested and also earned ‘Fight of the Night’ honors. He then secured key victories against Damir Ismagulov in December 2022 and Joaquim Silva in June 2023. His first-round knockout of Beneil Dariush in December 2023 marked another “Performance of the Night” and positioned him for a title eliminator bout against Charles Oliveira at UFC 300 in April 2024, which he won by split decision. His consistent performance and strategic wins have led him to currently be ranked #2 in the UFC lightweight rankings.
