Two weeks after a spectacular performance that served to punch the table of the most complicated division of mixed martial arts on the planet, Joel alvarez (19-2) has work again. The Asturian fighter will face the Armenian Arman Tsarukyan, who occupies the 13th position in the UFC lightweight rankings, seeking to climb positions that bring him closer to the top 10, a place full of big names in the sport.
The first obstacle, therefore, within the top 15, will be a fighter seasoned in Tiger Muay Thai and in the American Top Team and who has one of the best ‘wrestling’ games in the category, as proof of this the confrontation he had against Islam Makhachev, probably one of the future champions of the division.
Tsarukyan is considered one of the great promises He is light and presents himself as a difficult stumbling block to overcome, given his impressive cardio and uncomfortable fighting style.
For his part, the Asturian comes from winning with great authority over Thiago Moisés, a victory that helped him to enter the top 15 and send a warning to the rest of the great names in the division: a 28-year-old and 1.90-year-old Spaniard wants to make history at UFC. And, for this, the first thing he touches is to impose himself on the Armenian athlete, a triumph that would help him climb several places in the ranking of the largest MMA league in the world.
Joel Álvarez debuted in 2019 with a defeat against Damir Ismagulov. Since then, he has beaten four rivals in a row: Danilo Belluardo, Joe Duffy, Alexander Yakovlev and Thiago Moisés. For his part, Tsarukyan arrives with the same streak, after beating Olivier Aubin-Mercier, Davi Ramos, Matt Frevola and Christos Giagos.
