Arman Tsarukyan Issues Statement Amid Uncertainty Regarding Next Fight

you know what's funny?

I made several comments before the fight that Armen KNEW he wasn't making weight and faked a back injury to get out of the fight instead of losing a portion of his purse. I was called a crazy schitzo basically with a wild imagination because im smart enough to see the writing on the wall. he was CLEARLY super jacked and not really cutting the weight. He knew he couldn't make it so he pulled out last minute. I would not be surprised if Islam's manager was in on it and paid armen to do that for them to get islam the title defense record nice and easy (call me crazy I really dont care)
He posted pics of himself in the leadup to the fight looking so enormous it was comical, it was like he was pumped up like a balloon.
Of course he wasnt going to make weight looking like that, the back injury was his excuse out of the fight so he didnt look like even more of a complete moron.
 
Arman vs. Topuria , this is the fight that makes most sense
if you want to protect islam from his most dangerous challengers, ensuring they pick eachother off while islam fights pimblett, Sure makes perfect sense.

If anyone actually finally wants to see islam fight a legit LW contender who deserves a title shot you don't make that fight you make LITERALLY any other fight.

I also Said before that fight was even booked that Islam will not fight armen next. Not sure the reason why but he didn't and I knew that fight was not going to happen I was very stanch on that before the fight was booked. I did say islam would find a way to fight paddy before he fights armen and It looks like I might be right again
 
Arman is in a hard spot, but this is a guy who weighed in a million times before. Bro hasn't fought since last April and has nothing booked. UFC is either going to give him another title shot or he's going to have to prove his weight again with another fight. It's funny when it was Khamzat weighing in against Nate Diaz in his first weight miss everyone pulled out the pitchforks to chase him to MW. This is Arman's 2nd weight miss at LW in UFC and it was for a title fight.
 
As far as I am concerned, he had a TS and fumbled it/lost. In the process, he made Moicano get an L, he wasted a precious Islam fight and made the UFC look like amateurs. He should absolutely be skipped, otherwise, others might think they can get away with a last minute pullout on a ppv without consequences.
 
Really don’t care what they do with arman. His “statement” here is pointless anyways, unless I’m missing something? He just said he doesn’t know what will happen and also that he should stay ready? Lol. Ok Arman

<seniorvolk>

Like old man Volk, you can wake me up when he signs the contract to fight Ilia.
 
Arman vs. Justin Gaethje for next challenger, Charles vs. Islam 2 for champion title, Topuria takes the winner.
 
Not making weight for a title fight is the same as tko. The scale is part of the fight, and Arman couldn’t win the battle. Islam was going to put him in a coffin regardless, but Arman does not deserve an instant shot, and should have to fight JG, or Toporia to prove he’s prepared to make championship weight. Dana isn’t going to waste a bunch of money promoting this dude who fails twice to make weight and pulled out against doctor’s recommendation because he was shooketh
 
Arman is clearly unstable, which isn't that uncommon as far as professional fighters are concerned... but it seems he doesn't have good people around him either

Dumb move to pull out from a championship fight
 
Watch them make Arman vs Gaethje next as Islam waits for the winner, while ducking the Ilia fight, & then fights none of them & moves to 170.
 
Islam x Topuria
Arman x Charles 2
Gaethje x Pimblett
Holloway x Hooker (not for BMF, they should end this, we had a great last fight)
Poirier retire (I like him, but there is only rematch left, maybe if Justin lose, they can fight each other again)
 
Currently at an unsure juncture about his immediate future, Tsarukyan is trying to stay patient and focus on training. The Russian also hinted that he was dealt an unfair hand, which he has accepted as a part of life.

What absolute jabroni journalism is this?

Referring to Arman as a Russian? He's Armenian, born of Armenian parents, walks to the cage in an Armenian flag. How can you get the basics so wrong?

So this is what your conspiracy theory about the UFC coordinating Arman pulling out so Islam could get an easier title defence has morphed into? You don’t care about people calling you crazy because you know your theories are complete stupidity.

My theory includes that the UFC wanted to sell out the venue to the Armenian crowd in Cali and that’s why they went so long before announcing that Arman was unable to fight.

it was obvious a week out armen wasn't fighting, I spent a lot of time saying to people IF they fight the whole month leading up to it. I never had faith that match up would happen.

Huh? When this all originally went down you said the UFC was behind it but you obviously realized how ridiculous that is and to keep the Islam hate narrative going you changed your tune to his manager being the protagonist.

Why is it so hard for some of you to believe that Arman simply pulled out on his own? I mean there’s nothing that would suggest that Islam’s team and the UFC were even involved but somehow you’re convinced of foul play.

because of how his management moves. That's why i can't simply believe he pulled out on his own.

How they got the porier fight by offering armen a fight on a 7 week turn around, which IMO was just out right avoiding Armen, As if Ali didn't know he was fighting in june. I've ALWAYS maintained that Ali and the UFC make deals with each other. I'll give you gaethje/max, if you give me Dustin/islam ect. I 100% believe this kind of stuff happens.

and I have nothing against islam, I've never had anything negative to say about islam. It's his manager and his career management i pick on. Otherwise I like Islam. Good role model, Muslim, generally a cool fun guy but I spit on his career management and fight selection (yes, fighting volk was a choice, he absolutely could have fought gamrot, not going through that again)
