Arman Tsarukyan names Khabib Nurmagomedov as biggest inspiration growing up
Arman Tsarukyan looked up to Khabib Nurmagomedov during his rise in MMA. Like Nurmagomedov (29-0 MMA, 13-0 UFC), Tsarukyan is known for his elite grappling. Nurmagomedov retired as an undefeated UFC lightweight champion and is widely considered as the most dominant fighter of all time. Tsarukyan (23-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) is still in his pursuit of gold, and was scheduled to challenge Nurmagomedov's protege, Islam Makhachev, for the lightweight title at UFC 311 in January before withdrawing the day before due to a back injury. "I've got a lot of favorite fighters that I watch their fights always to see how they move, how they wrestle,' Tsarukyan said on the "Out Cold" podcast. "But if we say who inspired me when I was young, it was Khabib because he is from Russia and I'm from Russia, as well. I live there. When I started training MMA, he was a goal for us. He wasn't the champ at that moment, but he was so famous." When former featherweight champion Ilia Topuria was campaigning to fight Makhachev for the lightweight title, Nurmagomedov said he saw Tsarukyan as a sterner test to prep for. Makhachev has since relinquished his 155-pound title to go after the welterweight title.

Angela Hill: 'I'm right there' for title shot with UFC on ESPN 72 win vs. Iasmin Lucindo
Angela Hill might be 40, but she still thinks her most glorious MMA moments still are on the horizon. Longtime octagon veteran Hill (18-14 MMA, 13-14 UFC) will take on 23-year-old Iasmin Lucindo (17-6 MMA, 4-2 UFC) on Saturday at UFC on ESPN 72, which takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas (ESPN, ESPN+). With three victories in her past four fights, Hill sees herself on an upward trajectory in the strawweight division. She has no thoughts about retirement, and argues that beating a promising prospect who is 17 years her junior would be a statement about where she fits in the weight class. "I think I've really expanded the idea of what the window could be," Hill told MMA Junkie Radio. "I think just keeping that momentum going and see how long I can push it, see how good I can get, how high I can climb. I'm motivated by the close decisions I've lost because I feel like in an alternate universe, I would've fought for the belt by now. "It's more so the motivation of showing the potential I have before it's too late. That drives me every time I get in there. Now that I've been in the top 15 for a few years, I know I'm right there." Lucindo has had a quick rise through the 115-pound division, already racking up wins over former title challenger Karolina Kowalkiewicz and longtime contender Marina Rodriguez. The Brazilian is coming off a setback against Amanda Lemos at UFC 313 in March, and although Hill also has a loss to Lemos, she said it was much more competitive. Hill is not relying on MMA math to get the job done, but she sees vulnerabilities in Lucindo's game, and intends to take advantage. "If I'm fighting someone that likes to stand and bang, I'm like, 'Oh yeah, we're going to get that money,'" Hill said. "It's also nice because there's more opportunities to take advantage of someone with less experience. I feel like with her, because she's a little wild, because she comes in swinging wide and tries to throw big, there's moments where I can capitalize on that. I'm definitely excited."
