Arman Tsarukyan tries to jump gate, confronts Namo Fazil at MVP

Tom Rashid
UFC & MMA Lead Writer ·

UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan attempted to scale the gate at MVP's Rousey vs. Carano event to get at Namo Fazil, then took the confrontation backstage.

Video circulating on social media, first reported by Sherdog, shows Tsarukyan trying to climb the cage-side barrier during the card before security intervened. He later tracked down Fazil in the back and was heard saying, "He wants to talk, I wanna talk!"

What sparked the Tsarukyan-Fazil tension

The source of the beef between the two lightweights remains unclear, though both have been fixtures at MVP events. Fazil competes for the promotion while Tsarukyan holds a contract with the UFC, where he most recently fought in the lightweight title picture.

No official statement has been issued by MVP or either fighter regarding potential fallout from the incident. Tsarukyan has not announced his next UFC booking.
