UFC lightweight no.2 contender Arman Tsarukyan has served up a reminder of just how good he is by sleeping former UFC champ Ben Henderson in a grappling match.

The two stars were pitted together at the ‘ACBJJ 18’ grappling event in Moscow, Russia this weekend, and it turned out to be one-way traffic for the 28-year-old Tsarukyan, who was able to dominate the 41-year-old Henderson.

Tsarukyan quickly took control of the match and threatened Henderson multiple times as a he chained submission attempts together, putting the veteran entirely in defensive mode.

However, as they approached the final stages of the match, Tsarukyan was able to sink in an arm-triangle choke, and with ‘Smooth’ opting not to tap out that led to him taking a brief nap on the canvas.

Tsarukyan is currently on a four-fight winning streak in the UFC, including a split-decision win over Charles Oliveira in his last appearance at UFC 300 last year.

He was then set to rematch Islam Makhachev in a lightweight title fight in January of this year, but had to withdraw on the eve of the fight due to a back injury, and that’s since seen him slide down the pecking order to get another shot at the belt.

As for Henderson, he retired from MMA a couple of years ago after a rear-naked choke submission loss to Bellator’s lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov.

In his prime Henderson went from being a WEC lightweight champion to also holding the UFC’s 155lb title, and successfully defended the belt three times.
