\nAmerican Top Team<\/a> muay thai coach Anderson Franca believes
\nArman
\nTsarukyan<\/a> presents a tricky stylistic challenge for Mauricio

Tsarukyan will meet Ruffy in the co-main event of the
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a>\u2019s upcoming event in Los Angeles.
\nFranca, who has previously cornered Tsarukyan, won\u2019t be in the
\nArmenian\u2019s corner at UFC
\n331<\/a> on Sept. 19 at Crypto.com Arena, but was instrumental in
\ncreating the game plan.<\/p>\n

Anderson Fran\u00e7a breaks down Arman Tsarukyan vs. Mauricio Ruffy
\nat UFC 331<\/h2>\n

In a recent interview with Sherdog, Franca broke down the Tsarukyan
\nvs. Ruffy matchup. The coach revealed changes Tsarukyan has made to
\nhis camp in preparation for Ruffy, who he considers the best
\nstriker in the 155-pound division.<\/p>\n

\u201cArman always trains with me when he has his camp at ATT, but for
\nthis particular camp he brought Petrosyan, who is a high-level
\nfighter who competed in K-1,\u201d Franca told Sherdog. \u201cArman is an
\nathlete who never gives up and is willing to die in the ring.
\nMauricio Ruffy, on the other hand, is a sniper, without a doubt the
\nbest striker in the lightweight division.\u201d<\/p>\n

Franca said he was specifically asked to help Tsarukyan prepare for
\nRuffy’s striking after the matchup was finalized.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as the fight was booked, Parrumpa asked me to help him
\nstudy Ruffy\u2019s game so I could help him during camp,\u201d Franca said.
\n\u201cArman has to be extremely focused because you can\u2019t make mistakes
\nagainst Ruffy. On the other hand, Arman is the worst stylistic
\nmatchup for Ruffy and he also has an extremely high fight IQ. I
\nwould say this fight is 60-40 in favor of [Tsarukyan].\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
