Where was Arman Tsarukyan born?

Despite fighting out of Krasnodar, Russia, Arman Tsarukyan was born in Akhalkalaki, Georgia. The UFC star's family is Armenian, making Tsarukyan an Russian-Armenian fighter.

The 25-year-old started his professional MMA career in Russia, beating Shamil Olokhanov at MFP: Assault Nights Of Spassk 2015. The event took place in Spassk-Dalny, Russia.

Despite his strong links to Russia, Tsarukyan often displays both the Armenian and Russian flags. Most of the UFC star's Instagram posts used to be written in Russian, but recently, the 25-year-old has been writing his captions in English.

Tsarukyan recently stated on Instagram that "Meta platform is now shutting down in Russia, which means that neither Facebook nor Instagram will work (translated via Google Translate)." That might have played a role in the fighter switching the language he uses to caption his posts in.
