Tsarukyan, Magomedov Grappling Match Ends in Draw in Yerevan

A submission-only draw reinforced Tsarukyan’s stay-busy push outside the UFC.

Overview

  • The Hype FC main event on December 30 at Yerevan’s Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex concluded without a winner under submission-only rules.
  • The contest was a single 10-minute round with no judges, so the bout was declared a draw when neither athlete secured a submission.
  • Arman Tsarukyan scored multiple takedowns, including a late highlight-reel slam, while Shara Magomedov defended well and reversed an early attempt to take the back.
  • Pre-fight side bets, including an apartment for Magomedov or a Rolex for Tsarukyan, were left unresolved by the draw.
  • Both fighters await their first UFC bookings of 2026, with Tsarukyan maintaining momentum as a top lightweight contender through frequent grappling appearances.
