Arman Tsarukyan Doesn’t Think Justin Gaethje Deserves Next Lightweight Title Shot

[Pancake Sprawl]

Does he though? There was a big stink being made about how he only said it was a "big announcement" and everyone just assumed it was a fight.

yeah, you're right. he never mentioned it was a fight announcement. i hope to God it is, because if this is some Jon Jones type of bullshit, fuck Ilia lmao

We all know arman better than Gaethe everywhere … but … he fkd a card over as a challenger

Challengers have to fight under any circumstance

Gaethe gets finished and retires

Arman has to beat a guy to get his title shot back

Just the way it is

 

[fzoid4454]

He has a case
But the counter argument is that he threw his back out trying to impress a hot chick 2 days before a world title fight

Okay, but when I hear that counter-argument, I think "seems reasonable."

Does anyone think Gaethje has a chance in Hell against Islam?

It's a shit matchup. Gaethje is not at that level. Arman or Topuria are far better match ups.

I say do Topuria vs Islam

Gaethje with Arman.

Arman will smoke Gaethje anyway.

 

[CieloLuce]

I am huge fan of Arman. I don't think he deserves a ts either.

Does Gaethje another shot? Hell no.

Now if they do Arman vs Justin. I be all in.

 

[BangBang]

He doesn't, but I wouldn't say no. I'd love for Gaethje to win the title. But I'd expect him to lose.
At least Dustin has a 5 round banger to be proud of.
Gaethje wouldn't mind a heroic loss I bet when it's all said and done.

That's the tough part about it. What qualifies as a great send-off without impacting the title scene? With Arman up there, Hooker the next top streaking LW, plus former champ Ilia finding a spot, and then Oliveira and Gaethje close by, Max might actually be the furthest from a title shot.

What else is there? Dariush? Colby at LW would be a lovely gift wrap for Dustin, but that guy doesn't agree to fights.

The only "nostalgia pick" I can imagine would be RDA, the guy who was champ when Dustin first moved up. But RDA is so broke down, that's not even interesting, plus he went to WW again, and tore his ACL in Oct, and Dustin did already beat Eddie and Conor anyway, so he's already got a lineage of former champs under his belt.


You and you alone, my guy

Hooker for sure is the obvious choice. Nate is the PPV send it choice.

If hooker beats Porier his in contention. If Porier beats hooker he goes out on a high note likely in a crazy ass fight.

He never weighed in.

"Tsarukyan pulled out of the fight one day before the event, citing a back injury sustained while cutting weight"

Alright Mr believe everything he reads. And Dana booted him from contention just cuz. Media literacy my boy
