Clearly, the nine-month suspension would stop Tsarukyan from combating once more in 2024, which might be disastrous contemplating he’s been rumored for a light-weight title bout towards Islam Makhachev with all indicators pointing in the direction of the UFC occasion in Abu Dhabi in October.
The excellent news is Tsarukyan can have his suspension diminished to 6 months — and that may expire by Oct. 13 with the UFC occasion scheduled on Oct. 26 — so long as the 27-year-old light-weight completes an authorized anti-bullying message for the fee.
The fee voted unanimously to approve the measure and it appears extremely doubtless that Tsarukyan will full the anti-bullying message that reduces his suspension to 6 months, which might then enable him to compete in October if that’s the date the UFC needs for his potential matchup towards Makhachev.
Earlier than closing the proceedings, Nevada State Athletic Fee chairman Dallas Haun issued a warning that Tsarukyan’s adjudication settlement is a “one-time provide” and anybody else getting concerned in an altercation with a fan “might be handled rather more severely.”
