Tsarukyan at UFC 331

Mauricio Ruffy believes a UFC 331 win over Arman Tsarukyan
could earn him a lightweight title opportunity

Ruffy claims he isn’t feeling any pressure following the
announcement of the lightweight booking and vows to hunt for a
knockout win over “Ahalkalakets” in the UFC 331 co-headliner. As he
did with his last bout, Ruffy’s training camp will soon commence in
Australia under the guidance of Alexander
Volkanovski.

“Winning this fight takes us straight to the title,” Ruffy said on
his Instagram Stories in Portuguese. “And that’s it; let’s go and
give it our all. I don’t feel pressure at all. I feel privileged,
very grateful to God for all this. I’m going there for the
knockout… I don’t want to leave the octagon without that result.
I’m leaving now. I’m going to Australia to do the full camp
there.”

Ruffy (14-2) has finished five of his six UFC wins so far and has
only lost to Benoit St.
Denis inside the Octagon. The 30-year-old is coming off
finishes over Rafael
Fiziev and Michael
Chandler. Meanwhile, Tsarukyan is on a five-fight win streak,
10-2 in the UFC and finished Dan Hooker in
his last bout.
