Media Ilia Topuria Seems to Be Actively Ducking Arman Tsarukyan. Arman Responds.

[moosaev]

Fuck Arman, the fat cunt missed weight and pulled out less than 24hours out from the fight, JG, Paddy and whoever else is professional can have the shot before that liability that just talks shit, dribbles over Nina Drama and pulls outta title fights because of lack of discipline, fook em

Arman deserves the shot. The UFC tolerates all kinds of BS from fighters, why should missing weight be a death sentence? Give arman his shot and give the fans what they want, an actually compelling title fight that we can look forward to. Nobody wants to watch Ilia flatline washed Gaethje!

 

[MigitAs]

Shit how different would things be if Arman never pulled out against Islam

 

[BluntForceTrama]

Of course a Tardpurian doesn't think him ducking guys is a bad thing. As of now he's ducking Arman who should be next, openly and verbally. You can excuse it as him 'talking shit' if you'd like.

People Gave me a hard time for saying similar but he’s been cherry-picking very clearly


He tells the ufc who he’s fighting for the vacated LW belt then tells them
Who’s next alll his terms? GTFOH

This BS needs to stop

 

[broc5k]

He can't stop talking about Max either, even though he KO'd his ass. Toppy out here turning into "The Narcissist" Lex Luger.

Allright I’ll play ball

here’s my take

You claim Topuria “as of right now is openly ducking” when he just fought 4 weeks ago. I find that amusing for someone who’s been around long enough to know that what fighters might say about potential opponents won’t always align with eventual reality.

If Topuria does indeed end up ducking him for a while they should absolutely strip him.

He's saying it. I'll judge him on what he's saying. It's that simple. The guy is incredibly talented. Take the toughest fight.

Arman has since made weight as the backup at 317.

It's crazy that some fans would rather see Paddy/Gaethje get the title shot over a clearly better fighter like Arman because the guy missed weight one time. Also, Max Holloway not only deserves the LW title shot more than those two, but he has a far better shot at beating Topuria than both.

Hopefully they don't cater to casuals here by giving Paddy the shot.

 

[El Fernas]

"Take my belt", then what? Waiting for Makhachev to get his at WW and then try that one? Would be a very dissectable way to a 3 division champion status.

 

[Trabaho]

He only didn't fight Movsar because he knew he could get a title shot. He refused Mov again once he was champ because he knew he was going to get someone bigger like Max or a shot at LW. Also, I don't think he gives a fuck about being a champion, but more just about getting the biggest fights he can.

I'm not saying it's good or bad, but he keeps getting away with it, so why wouldn't he keep doing it?

But give him no choice and he'll fight whoever the UFC tells him to.

It ain't going to be Arman anyway. The UFC are still pissy at him. I think they'll definitely go Paddy. Paddy is probably getting wrecked if he fights anyone decent, and he sorta has to fight someone decent now. May as well get the big fight out of Paddy while they can before he goes on a losing streak due to not fighting cans like Chandler and everyone in the old folks home category.

Won't happen, but Paddy vs Topuria in England and bring back Meatball for the main card would be the best. Nothing like a Paddy + Meatball combo in England.

Paddy looked legit vs Mike. Much better than Oliviera did not long before. Like it or not Paddy panned out and is legit now. He is young and made the jumps. It's not just beating Chandler but he easily dominated and shrunk him.

I think they’ll make it sooner or later. I’m all for letting Topuria knock Paddy’s head into the third row first though, purely for personal satisfaction. Gaethje won’t make any sense. I think Arman is an incredible talent, it would be a hell of a fight.

Chandler is a former gatekeeper who's long past his peak and hasn't looked good except for cheating in a long time. Beating him should get Paddy a ranked opponent.

Chandler's a bum though. He's just kept himself up there with his antics, being exciting, and being a company man. Him landing a good shots on Dustin, Justin, and Oli don't mean anything. Lots of fighters could have done that if given the chance.

He also gassed out within 2 minutes of nothing more than clinch grappling, which he himself initiated. He's not a high level fighter, and hasn't been for years.

And we don't know where Paddy is really at. The last time he didn't fight someone who was washed as shit it was Jared Gordon, and he barely won that. If he has panned out then I'll like it for sure. I like Paddy and we need some new blood at the top. I just don't think he's quite there yet, and will be exposed badly when he fights someone decent. Hopefully I'm wrong. Would love to see him whoop both Justin and Arman lol.

Chandler was competitive vs the top 5 Dustin Justin Olives

Chandler was competitive vs the top 5 Dustin Justin Olives

Chandler had one round in each of his fights against Poirier, Gaethje, and Oliveira where he was competitive or won the round. None of the fights was competitive overall.

 

[HP_Nut]

I would favour Topuria but Arman would test his wrestling/grappling more than anyone else at LW. I'm aware Topuria started MMA as a grappler, but its still a more compelling challenge than Justin/Paddy. I also wanted to see Topuria vs Movsar at FW but that never happened.

 

[xhaydenx]

Chandler was competitive vs the top 5 Dustin Justin Olives

Eh. Had one good moment in the first fight and then got finished. Then got handled 4-1 the second time. The only round he won in the rematch was the 5th where Oli was a bit tired.

That isn't all that competitive if you look at as a whole.

 

[Spacebadger]

Ilia is engineered like how Alex was, fed with fighters with losing streaks. Hes only credible win was Max which was down a weight class after going to lightweight which had a huge impact in performance and chin.

Take the fight and get a win over Arman.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

Arman, you just need to shut up and do as you're told.

Hey, it was perfectly fine for everybody else to tell me that in the early 2020s so I should be able to do it now. Just sayin'.

But seriously, Topuria murks anybody he faces so any discussion of who should be his next victim is moot.

Chandler is not a bum. He's just 674 in fight years. Cmon man.

He's so obviously better He's unwilling to fight anyone but the champion for 6 months.
People said JDM was crap and now he's WW.
Give paddy or even Justin the fight based on fighting and winning not fans pretending this guy's better because he won a split decision over Olivera he looked to be gassed as fuck in if it had been 5 we'd probably be saying Arman sucks.

Yeh, fuck he's got some miles on him.

Dunno why but I can't remember a single fight of his pre-UFC despite watching every single one he had in Bellator. Then again, I still always forget that Topuria went 5 rounds with Emmett haha.
