Arman Tsarukyan reveals who streamer N3on will replace in his corner for UFC 331

Arman Tsarukyan is switching up his corner team for UFC 331 with a truly bizarre addition.

This coming weekend, Arman Tsarukyan will finally return to the Octagon after 10 months out.

‘Batman’, as he will now be known as in the UFC, takes on Mauricio Ruffy in the UFC 331 co-main event in Los Angeles, California.

And ahead of what both fighters have is a number one contender fight, he has made the bold decision to allow his friend and streamer, N3on, be part of his corner team.

The Armenian star has become extremely popular for his life outside of the cage over the last year and a half, and one of the reasons for that is because of his friendships with the likes of Nina Drama and N3on.

Tsarukyan regularly features in their livestreams, where they get up to different things other than MMA.

And with that, he recently accepted a $50,000 bet from N3on that he would have the streamer in his corner for his upcoming fight.

Although fans and even N3on doubted he would go through with that, he revealed earlier this week that N3on will join Khamzat Chimaev as part of the fight night team.

Speaking at the UFC 331 media day, the 29-year-old revealed that N3on will replace either his strength and conditioning coach or one of his sparring partners.

“Yeah, this time I have four people in my corner, so that’s why. I usually only take three and (he will come) instead of my strength and conditioning coach or a sparring partner. I will bring N3on and he is gonna warm me up,” he said.

For several months now, fans have been calling for ‘Batman’ to fight for the lightweight title, despite having not fought since November.

He has long been the true number one contender in the division, but his antics outside of the UFC have affected his position in the title conversation.

And although Tsarukyan believes he will fight for the title next regardless, former champion Ilia Topuria recently announced he is going to be ready to return in February and he wants an immediate rematch with Gaethje.
