Arman Tsarukyan has been keeping busy with livestream content in recent months as he waits for his next shot at UFC lightweight gold. The Armenian contender frequently teams up with influencer Nina Drama on these broadcasts, using them to boost his profile and stay connected with the MMA world.

During Wednesday's stream, Tsarukyan had a hilarious moment when he unexpectedly ran into former opponent Joel Alvarez. The two fighters last met back in February 2022, with Tsarukyan winning by technical knockout. But seeing Alvarez in person again left the lightweight star stunned—not by the memory of their fight, but by the Spaniard's sheer size.

"You're so big bro, how did I fight with you? I don't know. How could I take you down?" Tsarukyan said, clearly amazed at Alvarez's physical presence.

"I don't know too," Alvarez replied with a laugh, and the two shared a lighthearted moment before agreeing they'd both like to win titles in their respective divisions first. Only then would they consider a rematch down the road.

It's a funny reminder of how much can change in MMA. Alvarez, known as "El Fenomeno," has since moved up to welterweight and is riding a four-fight winning streak. He's now set to face Yaroslav Amosov on the UFC 328 prelims this Saturday, looking to crack the rankings with a statement win. Amosov, a former Bellator champion, has just one loss in 30 career fights, making this a tough test for Alvarez.

For Tsarukyan, the moment was a rare glimpse of humility from a fighter who's proven he can handle even the biggest challenges in the cage. It's the kind of interaction that reminds fans why they love this sport—unexpected, genuine, and full of respect.
