Arman Tsarukyan issues short statement in response to Justin Gaethje vs Paddy Pimblett title fight announcement

UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan has given his thoughts on the promotion booking Justin Gaethje vs Paddy Pimblett in an interim lightweight title fight at UFC 324.

Last weekend at UFC Qatar, Arman Tsarukyan was able to dominate and defeat Dan Hooker within two rounds. Off the back of such a comprehensive victory, Arman himself noted that he felt like he was ready to step up to the championship level. He even said that he would be willing to turn around quickly and compete on the upcoming Paramount card in January.

Unfortunately, the UFC had other plans.
