Arman Tsarukyan Issues Statement Amid Uncertainty Regarding Next Fight

[Feaser]

I mean I see where you’re coming from but I’d still say that theory is a little out there. Also the scenario you laid out is quite a bit different than the idea that Islam paid Arman to botch the weight cut so he wouldn’t have to fight him.

My experience has taught me that conspiracy theories are always correct unless they’re disproven. That’s a joke, kind of, but many people are oblivious to the shady shit that happens right in front of them. They accept any dumb explanation they’re given. So when Arman says he hurt his back the day before weigh-ins, and he looks like he’s nowhere near 155, and his teammate is ready to step in on one day notice… I just wonder. That’s all.

 

[Hezekiah]

The best contender in the division. He messed up big-time at 311 but he's already said he's willing to fight back to another title shot.

My guess is that they will keep Topuria away from him. They don't want the latter picking up a loss until they have been to Spain.

 

[Hezekiah]

Arman took away Dana's snow & blackjack money since Dana had to pay Moicano almost a million to save the card because Arman was to have a bad weight cut under the guise of an "injury" 1 day before the event

Arman will never get a title shot for doing that

Dana's pettiness will make sure of it

Did Money Moicano really get close to a mill? Fair play to him if he did.

People all salty but it's not like this is a pattern. Dude iirc has taken short notice fights and has never pulled out or missed weight that cost a card a fight before this last one. I get that it was a big one but...do we wanna see the best guys fight the best guys or not? It's stupid as fans to think an elite guy should be blacklisted for one screwup.

One issue is that Arman's family has "fuck you" money, he drives nicer cars than Dana. So Dana can't use money as leverage against Arman.

 

[legedema]

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

guess you are not thinking clearly.
let me remind you,Arman pulled out last minute to face Islam. Islam agreed to fight Arman for the title but you are trying to pretend Islam didn't want to. No my friend, Islam was there when Arman wasn't.

coming to Topuria, I agree he is a great fighter but I also agree that he needs to prove himself at LW,thats it.

and what is wrong here, let the winner of Arman vs Tporuria fight for the title next.if Arman wins, UFC will be satisfied that Arman was not gifted a direct title shot after he pulled out , if Topuria wins,eveyone will shut their mouth about a legit LW.
I will repeat myself,Arman vs Topuria is the fight that makes most sense

and to your 2nd comment that you knew Islam would not fight Arman even when booked. dude , what kind of hate is this towards Islam ? Arman pulled out and you are blaming Islam for it and you still have no shame continuing to say Islam will find a way to fight Paddy.

 

[Xer0]

Not a fan of Arman. The pull out was an utter shame.

Arman Tsarukyan is trying to maintain composure as his immediate future hangs in the balance.



Tsarukyan was originally scheduled to challenge Islam Makhachev for the undisputed lightweight title at UFC 311 earlier this year. However, Tsarukyan was forced out due to a back injury a day before the fight and replaced by Renato Carneiro, who went on to suffer a first-round submission loss against Makhachev.

Dana White expressed his frustration with Tsarukyan and confirmed that “Ahalkalakets” wouldn’t getting the next lightweight title shot. There are also rumors that Tsarukyan pulled out on his own accord, and the UFC doctors didn’t suggest that he do so.

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. Having not fought in over a year now, Tsarukyan just wants to be ready when the call comes.

“Many have been asking when the fight is,” Tsarukyan wrote on Instagram. “I am calm — training, focused and waiting for my moment. Sports aren’t always about fair, but I believe if you put in the work, don’t give up and stay true to yourself everything will come. The key is to be ready when the time comes.”

Tsarukyan dropped a hard-fought decision against Makhachev in his short-notice UFC debut in 2019. Tsarukyan has since only lost once more in 10 outings and is riding a four-fight winning streak against elite contenders. However, Tsarukyan has been adamant on not accepting a rematch against Makhachev without a full camp.

Meanwhile, former featherweight champ Ilia Topuria recently vacated his featherweight title and is rallying for a lightweight title shot against Makhachev. Perennial contender Justin Gaethje is also on the cusp of yet another title shot, which Makhachev is seemingly willing to offer him.

[bongwater]

islam should be stripped! how long has it been without a fight even being announced!?

 

[JustBleed69]

Damn, Dana is still mad about that pullout. To be fair, if he does that again he should be kicked out of the UFC. I'm tired of the attitudes of MMA fighters these days, pulling out of fights the moment things don't go their way. MMA fighters used to fight sick and injured 20 years ago. You signed a contract and people paid money to buy tickets to your fight, including often booking flights/hotels to come watch.

You don't get to pull out just because you had a bad weight cut and you might have a slight disadvantage in the octagon.

I would agree if the pay wasn't so shit, but with the way it is why would you risk your health & record by not going in at 100% if you're getting peanuts?

Not to mention the bad weight cut theory is completely alleged by fans and not backed by anything other than speculation.

Exactly. There is less proof for Arman not being able to make weight, than Tiramisus using IVs in Perth.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Couldn’t continue reading after the ”being dealt a unfair hand”. Bro, you were born into a ultra wealthy family. This must be devastating time for you

Super wealthy family, amazing athletic genetics, good looks etc. It's tough out there for Armani.

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Sherdog likes to call Dana White petty for not being happy with Arman meanwhile over half this thread is people absolutely shitting on him for something that happened like 5 months ago.

Sit y’all fake angry pitchfork wielding asses down. Arman will soon be in the cage again, destroying people like he usually does and then y’all will pretend to have always supported him again, you fickle bunch of schoolgirls.

 

[legedema]

and who was the one pulled out ?

What has that to do with anything?

Okay I get Islam needs protection with a paddy match up I get it, give him paddy while the best contenders fight eachother.

By the way I don't hate islam it's his manager whom I hate. To be very perfectly clear I dislike kamaru Usman about 10 times more than islam.(tyron woodley 10 times more than that) Islam is a much better fighter than. Usman but like Usman always looks for the easiest path availible, because that's what his puppet master says to do

 

[bjjwar]

He could have changed that fighting Gaethje. He said he was ready for whoever, whenever the UFC wanted to redeem himself and then turned down Gaethje...

 

[Spath]

Super wealthy family, amazing athletic genetics, good looks etc. It's tough out there for Armani.

He’s a manlet, too.

That’s why we need Mofo to prove himself at WW against Kamaru. That’s the fight to make.

And I guess Arman should have used IVs too, maybe that would have prevented the last minute pull out?

LOL this fuckin goober got banned. Good fucking riddance

 

[HuskySamoan]

That's the only thing he didn't win the lottery on. But you know what? Armenian women are often beautiful so he doesn't really gotta worry about it.
