Arman Tsarukyan and Patricky Pitbull put on an exciting grappling match in the main event of ADXC 10 in Moscow, Russia, and the UFC star had the last laugh Saturday.
Pitbull, a former Bellator lightweight champion, had good moments in the match with fun scrambles and even attacking with a standing rear-naked choke, but overall, Tsarukyan was the dominant fighter with several choke attempts. Tsarukyan came close to tapping the Brazilian in the final seconds of round four but time ran out when the arm-triangle choke was locked in.
Pitbull shot for a takedown as the final stanza began, but Tsarukyan defended and immediately took his back. Pitbull survived a tight neck crank, but had no option but tap to a rear-naked choke moments later.
The UFC contender is now 2-0 in grappling matches since his most recent octagon appearance, when he won a decision against Charles Oliveira in April 2024 to improve to 9-2 under the company’s banner.
Former Bellator light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov rematched Ronny Markes in the co-main event. The first time they met was a MMA bout back in 2017, when Nemkov tapped the Brazilian with a first-round guillotine, but Markes got revenge with a unanimous decision victory.
Earlier on the card, Askar Arkarov, an ex-UFC flyweight who holds a win over current champion Alexandre Pantoja, defeated Rogerio Bontorin via unanimous decision after five rounds of grappling.
