With rumors swirling around a potential showdown between Arman Tsarukyan and Justin Gaethje, former UFC champion Israel Adesanya has broken down the tactical roadmap for the Armenian contender. Coming off a statement knockout win over Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 331, Tsarukyan has firmly entrenched himself in the title conversation, but facing a human hurricane like Gaethje demands surgical execution.
Adesanya points out that Gaethje thrives in “technical chaos”—a fearless brawl-first mentality backed by relentless grit and unshakable confidence. According to ‘The Last Stylebender,’ Tsarukyan’s surest path to victory lies in taking a page out of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s playbook from UFC 254: heavy, relentless wrestling. While Arman possesses the striking capabilities to hold his own on the feet, suffocating grappling remains the definitive key to neutralizing Gaethje and securing UFC gold.
