Arman Tsarukyan is lucky he wasn’t cut from UFC, says Paddy Pimblett

UFC star Paddy Pimblett believes that Arman Tsarukyan is lucky he hasn’t been cut from the roster by the promotion.

At UFC 324, in the main event, Paddy Pimblett will face Justin Gaethje for the UFC interim lightweight championship. Many fans and pundits alike felt as if Arman Tsarukyan had earned the right to step into that role, but as per Dana White, behind the scenes issues contributed to him not receiving that opportunity.

Arman Tsarukyan is talented enough to eventually get a crack at the gold, but it seems like he has just as much work to do outside of the cage as he does inside of it.
