UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan has claimed that he RNC-ed an alligator during a recent fishing trip to Florida. The 27-year-old Armenian made the astonishing assertion in a recent social media post, leaving many in the mixed martial arts community stunned.
According to Tsarukyan, the incident occurred while he was on a fishing excursion in Florida, where alligators are known to roam freely in the wild. The star, who boasts a impressive 22-3 professional record, claims that he was able to subdue the massive reptile using his grappling skills.
While Tsarukyan’s claim has sparked widespread interest and disbelief, it is worth noting that alligators can grow up to 15 feet in length and weigh over 1,000 pounds. Submitting such a massive creature would require superhuman strength and skill, leading many to question the veracity of Tsarukyan’s claim.
Tsarukyan’s fishing trip to Florida was reportedly a relaxing getaway for the star, who has been busy preparing for his next UFC bout. The Armenian has risen to prominence in the UFC’s lightweight division, with his most recent victory coming against fanfavorite Charles Oliveira.
Tsarukyan’s bold claim has sparked a heated debate among MMA fans, with many questioning whether the fighter’s assertion is merely a publicity stunt or a genuine account of his encounter with the alligator. While the truth behind the claim remains unclear, one thing is certain – Tsarukyan’s reputation as a formidable fighter has been further solidified.
In related news, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has stated that it is illegal to harm or harass alligators in the state, with violators facing fines of up to $500 (USD) and/or imprisonment of up to 60 days.
