Arman Tsaurkyan continues teasing plans to unleash super-secret move 'never seen in UFC'
Yesterday at 06:00 PM
Arman Tsarukyan has already built a lot of anticipation for his main event rematch against Islam Makhachev at UFC 311, but he's managed to ratchet up expectations even more after revealing plans to unleash a super-secret move in the octagon.
The 28-year-old lightweight contender first teased this mystery move in the days leading up to the fight but now he can't avoid questions asking for details that he doesn't want to give out. What Tsarukyan can promise is this is a move that no one has ever used in the UFC but don't expect him to unwrap that present before he can give it to Makhachev on Saturday.
"That technique I've never seen in UFC," Tsarukyan said during UFC 311 media day. "[I've never seen] jn highlights as well.
"Everybody's asking 'tell me your secret technique.' Like how can I tell you? OK, high kick, I'm saying to everybody. I shouldn't say [anything] about that secret technique. Everybody is asking the same questions. What is the secret technique? I don't know, it don't make sense to ask that question. It's a high kick guys."
Of course, Tsarukyan has no one to blame but himself for talking about this secret move, especially with so much attention being paid to his fight against Makhachev at UFC 311.
Because his only goal is winning, Tsarukyan can't promise that he'll actually get to employ this mystery technique but he promises if it happens, everyone will know that it's something that's never been witnessed previously.
"For sure, that technique you're going to say 'oh wow, what is that?'" Tsarukyan said. "Like an upkick the last fight. You've never seen when I'm throwing upkicks. It's a rare kick as well. A couple of fighters did an upkick in the UFC as well."
If Tsarukyan could offer one more guarantee regarding this much talked about maneuver, he vows that Makhachev won't see it coming and it's definitely going to catch him off guard.
"It's going to work if I throw it," Tsarukyan said.
For now, we'll all just have to wait until Saturday to see if Tsarukyan gets to use this secret move and how it might help him potentially claim the UFC lightweight title.
