MMA fans have been reacting after Arman Tsarukyan was pictured attacking a fan during his UFC 300 walkout.
Tsarukyan faced Charles Oliveira in a lightweight title eliminator and rose to the occasion in a hard-fought three-round bout. Both men had their moments in the fight, which included 'do Bronx' putting the 27-year-old in deep water with multiple guillotines.
That didn't prove enough on the scorecards for Oliveira, however, as Tsarukyan's repeated take downs and top control edged him the fight 29-28, 29-28, 28-29 on the scorecards.
Despite picking up the biggest win of his career on the historic card, Tsarukyan has been making headlines for the wrong reasons. As he walked to the octagon, he appeared to get into a confrontation with a fan and throw a strike.
