Eddie Hearn has entered MMA and has been signing several high-profile talents under the nose of Dana White and the UFC, like a modern-day Napoleon Bonaparte.
Going straight for the head, Hearn has taken his feud with White to new levels. Under his Matchroom Talent Agency banner, the boxing promoter has invaded the UFC and signed some of its stars. Hearn has already built a team of fighters, but his latest move may be his most ambitious. Amid his rise to social media fame, Arman Tsarukyan has been a hot commodity. Everything he does is now under the spotlight, giving him much-welcomed attention from millions around the world, opening other avenues of income for the money-chasing freak athlete.
Hoping to squirm his way into Arman Tsarukyan’s rise in popularity, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has seemingly singled out the Armenian as his next Matchroom target. The Brit has been one of the most prominent promoters over the years, managing to build his boxers into global superstars with almost immaculate handling of their careers. Aiming to do the same in MMA, Hearn wishes to bring Tsarukyan into the fold.
The pair recently spent some time together following Tsarukyan’s devastating knockout win at UFC 331 and subsequent RAF victory over Dillon Danis. While no further details have emerged, the Instagram post suggests they had spoken about a potential future partnership.
Arman Tsarukyan could be heading to Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Talent Agency. Check out their social media post below.
As stated, this isn’t Eddie Hearn’s first venture into MMA. After signing Tom Aspinall, Hearn turned his attention to Ian Machado Garry and Paulo Costa, who are all reportedly signed to his agency.
A former UFC heavyweight champion, two former UFC title challengers, and now a man destined for the very top; Eddie Hearn means business.
