In a developing story that's adding extra tension to an already stacked fight card, one Netflix MMA fighter has publicly called out UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan for controversial comments made during a recent livestream.

Namo Fazil, who is set to compete on the preliminary card of Most Valuable Promotions' groundbreaking Netflix event, hasn't minced words when addressing Tsarukyan's remarks about the Kurdish people. The welterweight fighter, who represents Kurdistan, took to Instagram to voice his displeasure after Tsarukyan made inflammatory statements questioning Kurdistan's statehood and referring to Kurdish people as "gypsies."

The controversy erupted during a livestream with Nina Drama, where the top UFC lightweight contender's comments quickly drew backlash. Fazil, known for his outspoken personality, responded with multiple critical posts on social media, making it clear he wouldn't let the remarks slide.

Adding fuel to the fire, Fazil's upcoming opponent, Jake Babian—who shares Armenian roots with Tsarukyan—also weighed in during a pre-fight press conference. Babian had a pointed message for the UFC star, further intensifying the pre-fight drama.

Fazil, 26, is preparing for his eleventh professional bout against Babian, which serves as the final preliminary fight before the main card kicks off at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The event itself is historic, headlined by former UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey's return to action against Gina Carano.

With tensions running high both inside and outside the cage, fight fans can expect fireworks when Fazil steps into the spotlight on this star-studded Netflix card. The Kurdish fighter has already proven he's not afraid to make his voice heard, and he'll be looking to back it up with a statement performance when the cage door closes.
