UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan has tested his fitness outside the Octagon, completing a HYROX doubles race alongside former Formula 1 driver Nikita Mazepin in a time of 1:06:39.
The Armenian fighter shared footage from the challenge on Instagram, adding another activity to a growing list undertaken while awaiting his next UFC appearance.
Tsarukyan’s wrestling-heavy fighting style relies on explosive movement and sustained pressure, but those qualities do not necessarily translate directly to an endurance event.
A time of 1:06:39 is a very solid result in the doubles division and demonstrates the exceptional conditioning possessed by elite-level MMA fighters.
