Media Dana Just Confirmed Arman Is Not Getting The Next Title Shot

[Peli]

I'm still curious how he pulled out. One source said his neck, one said his back.

Then who fights Makhachev? I get the frustration but don’t we want the best fighting the best? I’d still rather see that fight than Islam fight Oliveira.

I think he botched his weight cut, the UFC is gonna want him to move up to 170.

Bro is 5'7". Needs to just lose some of that crazy muscle mass.

 

[JBJ was here]

Botched weight cut feinting injury seems much more likely after this take.

If that's not what happened then Arman was injured at least a week out, didn't tell anyone, fucked around with Nina and aggravated the injury, still didn't tell anyone, then finally let the UFC know on Thursday that he wouldn't be fighting. If that's what happened then Arman's never getting another title shot.

So it was the weight cut. Got it lol

Not a good look when you are eating pasta and playing grab ass with UFC hoe Nina the week of the fight.

 

[big franklin]

Good.

Very selfish man and very unprofessional behaviour. Would have preferred Mark being cut, but this will do.

Fought on April 13th and wanted him fight beginning of June, that's no break in-between two months turn around, was smart for him to say no at the time.

He’s a fighter, that’s his job & I have a feeling Armand going to regret not taking that bout.

Israel Adesanya took a bout 2 months after the Silva bout to capture Gold against Gastelum

Jon Jones took a month off after Bader and captured Gold against Shogun.

Sean Strickland 2 months removed from his bout with Magomedov beats Adesanya capturing Gold.

These were title challengers who took risk and look where that got them.

 

[CobraCobretti]

Love it!

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

Too bad, Dana is consistent he did the same with Oliveira, who had to work for another titleshot, after he got injured before his 2nd fight against Islam... But he's the most deserving contender.

 

[SamuraiBro]

Oh what, so fucking Charles can get it again?
Yeah dude he’ll do so well lmao.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

"We'd love to see how this plays out for him in the next year."

Dana and co. pissed they got second and thirdhand information, Eagles team knew the day before the UFC and we're already adjusting their gameplan.

Arman is going to have a tough 2025 starting with a Gamrot rematch I reckon.

 

[BullyKutta]

*Most* fighters don't train in irresponsibly injury-risk ways THAT close to the biggest fights of their careers. Hell, some fighters semi-quarantine themselves to avoid catching the common cold for the 7 days preceding the fight. Dana probably isn't buying the 'injury' story.

I'll wager that Dana thinks Arman was going to miss weight.

It's not fair, but the amount of money that goes into promoting a high-level fight would INCENSE me if one of the two athletes pulled out 48 hours beforehand. Furthermore, not a single casual even knows who Arman is. but I do know that PPV buy-rates go down when there's a last minute change to the card.

I wouldn't give the guy another title shot, either.

Tony Ferguson fucked up his own career with that sort of last minute bullshit, and all he's got to show for it is a brittle body and guaranteed brain-damage from the wars he's been in.

 

[italiamusica]

Probably for the best, but Dana and his shit eating grin is one of the most punchable faces. All he can beat is his wife and steal money from fighters like a dogshit human being.

I've mentioned this in another post. If Arman was cutting weight, low on electrolytes and amino acids problem areas on your body start locking up and feels like your having a stroke.

That’s what happened to Khabib for his bout with Mcgregor. He was having seizures and still went out and performed.

 

[pamirec]

Shit happens, but I get where teh Goof’s coming from.

 

[Chayanne]

Rightly so, you shouldn't miss such an opportunity the day before.

Some people are just built different.

 

[AMAZINGUFC]

Arman is definitely next.

But I'd rather wait and see what happens.

Islam might challenge himself in another weight class.

 

[WelcometoHell]

yeah, fuck off

that's completely fair and makes perfect sense

if Islam lost to a nobody on a days notice that's too much of a risk for you to be getting the title shot again immediately
