Arman Tsarukyan is showing no signs of slowing down, and June could be one of the busiest months of his career. The top UFC lightweight contender hasn't stepped into the Octagon since last November, when he delivered a dominant performance against Dan Hooker. But rather than sitting idle, Tsarukyan has been staying sharp by competing in grappling and wrestling matches every month this year, using Real American Freestyle Wrestling as a way to keep active while waiting for his next UFC fight to be scheduled.

Now, a shocking update from Dana White has thrown Tsarukyan's plans into overdrive. Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje are set to meet for the undisputed lightweight title on June 14 at the UFC White House event. Tsarukyan had previously stated he was planning to keep his weight down in case a late replacement was needed, but there hadn't been any official confirmation from the UFC—until White made it public this week. That means Tsarukyan will likely need to weigh in as a backup, ready to step in if Topuria or Gaethje can't make it to fight night.

Here's where it gets tricky: Tsarukyan is already booked to fight Tony Ferguson at RAF 10 on June 13, just one day before the UFC event, with that bout taking place in St. Louis. He'll need to be in Washington D.C. for the official weigh-ins on June 13 before potentially heading straight back to Missouri—a flight that usually takes around two and a half hours. It's a logistical puzzle that would test even the most seasoned fighter.

Bloody Elbow reached out to RAF for an update on whether Tsarukyan vs. Ferguson might be affected by his commitment as a backup for the White House event. The promotion responded by saying they don't expect any changes at this stage. For now, Tsarukyan appears ready to take on double duty, proving once again why he's one of the most relentless competitors in the lightweight division. Whether he ends up fighting once or twice in June, fans are in for a treat as this story continues to unfold.
