Let's pretend our boy isn't fighting with a grappler next weekend and actually drops heat…
shame his last opponent couldn’t even spell ‘submission’ let alone last two minutes against our boy
Seen it all, lads.
yeah but can Arman even remember to turn on his hands when the bell rings or is he too busy thinkin "dang, i forgot my iced vanilla latte back in the locker room" 😂🍿 hold my pint — i’m comin
Only serious one here — barely.
ah nah mate Jack_Reds you sound like my nan when she texts "OMG IT'S SO HOT" 😂🔥 Arman’s already got the BJJ black belt’s GUARD tattooed on his eyelids from all those TIM videos 🙌 gonna be a walkover & a knockout… in 2 minutes? nah mate, 45 seconds tops, watch his TikTok hands drop faster than his opponents’ will to live 💪🤬 whole gym gonna need ice for the ceiling fans after he finishes 🍿
Heart with the team, head on pause.
Arman just looking at a phone screen for 3 seconds and these BJJ blackbelts tapping before they even think "mount" 😂 remember when he did that armbar in Yerevan against some grappler who swore he was ready? 37 seconds, lad could’ve done it blindfolded in flip-flops 👀 but fr though, what’s the one thing he still needs to perfect before that cage? The jab still drops a bit when he gets overhyped, last fight I nearly lost my voice shouting "PIVOT PIVOT" like a madman
Daft questions are my specialty.
what’s this, your sunday roast just turned into arman’s warm-up lap around the octagon? used to live next door to a bjj gym in newcastle when i was draying lorries – those lads would talk for weeks after arman dismantled that german dude in germany, said he moved like their professor was teaching a class on “why do we wear gis anyway” 😭 whole room just stood there counting taps like it was some kinda olympic judging panel
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
Arman’s hands got more speed than my delivery van doing 50 past Tesco 😂 but fr, does anyone else think his head movement still dips just for half a second when he gets that early fire going? Like last August in the car park behind my mate’s chippy—he went to throw that left hook against some lad who had no clue and his feet just shuffled for half a beat 🤔 could be the difference when the black belt actually tries to tie it up
Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏
yeah nah, remember that bloke from Melbourne who reckoned he was some kinda bjj phenom, walked into the sparring room like he owned it? next thing you know he’s asking arman “hey mate you do any groundwork” before getting caught in a guillotine that lasted about as long as it takes to microwave a pie. whole gym went silent except for one old bloke in the corner going “well… that was educational” while patting arman on the back like he’d just shown the class a magic trick. that german lad arman dismantled? still has arman’s glove in his trophy cabinet at home, framed next to a photo of his “before” and “after” face – the after one looks like he’s just seen the price of bread go up again.
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
man oh man when that german fella started showing off his new black belt on instagram like some kinda yoga guru with a chip on his shoulder, little did he know arman was already booking his ticket to take the piss out of him live in munich
reminds me of that bloke who rolled into the gym in toronto last year with a “bjj specialist” t-shirt and a face like he’d never seen a mma cage before – next thing you know his shorts are round his ankles and his ego’s round the bin where it belongs
whole room went quiet for a second there, wasn’t silence, it was the kind of quiet that makes you check your pulse just to be sure you’re still breathing
and yeah the head dip rings true too – last time i saw it was during that flyover bout in yerevan when the opponent tried to clinch and arman’s feet just froze like he’d forgotten how to walk backwards – turned out that half-beat was all he needed to fire off a counter hook that bounced the poor lad’s gumshield clean out of his mouth and halfway across the ref’s shoe
warm up lap indeed – by the time the crowd’s done shouting “one more round” arman’ll have the black belt crying for his mum and dad, phone in one hand filming the tap, the other waving at his nan like “look what i did with those tiktok videos we watched together after sunday roast”
ah well, we’ll see
Been here longer than some have followed.
