Arman Tsarukyan became the latest fighter to meet up with the viral live streamer IShowSpeed.
The UFC lightweight contender continues to sit on the sidelines wondering when his next outing in the promotion will come.
UFC boss Dana White recently admitted that he isn’t best pleased with ‘Ahalkalakets’ antics outside of the UFC, as he continues to stay active by competing in wrestling and grappling.
And this past weekend during his time away from fighting, Arman Tsarukyan met up with the popular live streamer, IShowSpeed.
Speed shouts in fear as Tsarukyan lifts him off the ground
IShowSpeed has become a popular figure online due to his wild personality and the growing influence of live streaming.
Similarly, Tsarukyan has found himself gaining a ton of popularity online as he has been growing his social media accounts.
Usually, the Armenian goes viral for his videos where he eats an obscene amount of food, and he is able to do so at the moment because of the fact that he doesn’t have a fight booked.
This time, though, just his meeting with Speed was enough to make it’s way through social media.
During their brief interaction, Tsarukyan began to grapple with the athletic streamer, who asked him not to do anything crazy.
Soon after, the UFC star made his way to the back of Speed and lifted him off his feet and he pretended to suplex him.
“Okay, relax. Relax! Woah, woah, woah, relax!” Speed said as he was lifted off the ground.

This past weekend, Speed competed in Tom Brady’s Fanatics Flag Football game in Los Angeles, which is likely where he and Tsarukyan met.
Following UFC London this past Saturday, Tsarukyan has once again thrown his name in the hat to fight Alexander Volkanovski for the 145lb title.
Despite that, having previously had issues in regards to his weight, it is extremely unlikely that the promotion would allow him to move down in weight.
