Is Arman being punished for his last minute injury pullout?

Diva behavior wins you no friends

Tsarukyan won, but Oliveira made it a very close fight, if there had been 5 rounds it truly could've gone either way

However, Tsarukyan did win, so that qualified him over Oliveira

But then he pulled out of the title fight he earned, so then that puts Oliveira back ahead

in terms of ticket sales: ilia vs islam >> vs oliveira >>>>> vs arman.

its possible arman popped for something, but the ufc is trying to cover it up to save face. this would explain why he hasn't gotten a fight booked since he pulled out. despite looking healthy and going on podcasts.

or dana doesn't like when fighters pull out with a botched weight cut or injury that can't be proven. especially rich guys that can afford to.

Rumor is that the back injury was a cover for the weight cut falling apart the week of the fight (weighing in podcast)

it's not even a rumor at this point.
Per his coach words he was all right until he started the weight cut, then his back flared up from a previously unknown injury and he had to stop the process.

We don't need to think much to get it.

Why does Charlie deserve a shot at the vacant belt over the guy who just beat him? Did Arman actually manage to squander not one but two potential title shots in exchange for a shot at getting into Nina’s pants?

Im pretty sure it’s well known Arman is being punished. The UFC made that clear when he pulled out and they said he’s gotta fight again to gain another title shot

 

[volcom5]

Yes.

How bout Arman just take a fight to show he can make 155 and gain back the trust of the UFC for them to putting their eggs in basket for you again.

Most people on here won’t understand because more than half the people are unemployed losers, but not showing up to work usually labels you as unreliable, given the amount effort, money and resources they put into you for you to just not show up at a one of the most important events for a the LW division.
