Arman Tsarukyan Willing to Be Backup Fighter for UFC 317, UFC 318 Main Events

Gaethje (#3) would make the most sense, but he's sitting on his Fiziev win, thinking that's enough for a titleshot.

Paddy would also make sense since he's on a long winstreak.

Hooker would also make more sense than Gamrot since he defeated Gamrot.

Problem seems to be that everyone in the top 5-10 wants to fight Gaethje, or another striker, while Gaethje wants a titleshot.
Did Gaethje say no to fighting Paddy?
 
Arman making his own bed, he's going to have to prove he makes weight still. Gamrot was perfect opportunity. If he's asking to be backup because UFC doesn't want him in a top fight, thats on him. He could have a W and move back right where he was but he wants to play the "smart career moves" game. Honestly at this point hope he gets passed up.
 
he realises he has no leverage or support. he pulled out while the docters cleared him to fight and thought he would get another title shot. he now hasnt competed since april 2024 and no fight scheduled. of course he doesnt need the money, he rides lambourghini's and such shit but he was the nr 1 contender....

now he is fading away and that's a shame because he is one of the top dogs in the lw division (especially since Islam moved up). He has himself to blame and nobody else. At least he has come to realize his situation and is willing to fight before his prime gets waisted away on the side lines
 
It sounds so dumb being called a backup fighter everyone should be ready to fight in the division if your in the ufc
