First of all Im no fan of Arman. Most armo fighters annoy me and he is the quintessential armor fighter. I also think he loses again to Islam. BUT it would be a very interesting close match and test of wills. It's THE fight at LW.
That all being said he has been getting a ton of hate from the keyboard warriors who clearly have never done any sports much less trane UFC.
Here is a 1st hand account if what happened

I've done multiple sports and martial arts. And I have suffered from back pain recently. What his coach is saying checks out. And while I'm not a huge armo fan they are not pussies so its believable.
With the info we have its 50/50 that arman even fights again within a year. If he is out over a year he does need to work his way back up with 1 fight maybe 2 depending on the division at that time.
If he's back in a few months IMO he should get the shot right away. Who else should Islam fight?
Aloe Vera would be the only ok option if he gets a huge win 1st.
All in all it doesn't look like Arman pulled out due to being unprofessional, the dude had a very long road to the title and is the most interesting matchup for Islam given the 1st fight was so close and so long ago.
