Arman Tsarukyan has been appointed as the backup headliner for the lightweight title fight between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje at UFC Freedom Fights 250, scheduled for June 14. This event marks a significant occasion as it coincides with President Donald Trump's 80th birthday. Tsarukyan, holding a record of 23 wins and 3 losses, is prepared to step in if either champion is unable to compete. Topuria, who remains undefeated with a record of 17-0, has indicated he is ready to face either fighter, stating, "I don't care who I'm going to have in front of me." Gaethje, who secured his title shot by defeating Paddy Pimblett in January, has not commented on Tsarukyan's backup status. Notably, Tsarukyan previously weighed in as a backup for Topuria's last title fight, where Topuria knocked out Charles Oliveira in the first round. Currently, Tsarukyan is enjoying a five-fight win streak, enhancing his reputation in the lightweight division.
