Arman Tsarukyan Changes His Nickname and Walkout Song Ahead of Mauricio Ruffy Showdown at UFC 331
No. 2 UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan has a different walkout song in mind for his next bout. Tsarukyan is scheduled to lock horns with Brazilian knockout artist Mauricio Ruffy in the co-main event of UFC 331 on September 19.
While Tsarukyan usually walks out to the Armenian song “Yarkhushta,” at UFC 331, he has chosen his friend, popular streamer N3on’s track “She Wanna Hang With An Indian.”
Check out the track below:
Earlier today, on The Ariel Helwani Show, talking about why he’s decided to change his walkout track, the 29-year-old said:
“N3on, the streamer, created the song ‘She Wanna Hang With an Indian,’ something like that, and we had a bet. So for my next fight, I’m going to walk out to that… Listen, if I walk [out to the song], I get $200k. If I don’t, I have to pay him.”

Arman Tsarukyan has been promised a title shot if he beats Mauricio Ruffy
Arman Tsarukyan also confirmed on The Ariel Helwani Show that Hunter Campbell has told him that if he beats Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 331, he will get the next lightweight title shot.
Check out Arman Tsarukyan’s comments below:
Newly minted 155-pound champion Justin Gaethje, who has already engaged in two brutal slugfests this year, plans to enter the octagon in 2026 to defend the strap. For Tsarukyan, this means that even if he beats Ruffy next month, he will have to wait until next year for the title shot he deserves, but has been delayed for multiple reasons for which the 29-year-old can be blamed, and for a few, he can’t be.
