Chael Sonnen has somehow remained convinced that Arman Tsarukyan will fight for the title in his next bout.
Tsarukyan most recently beat Dan Hooker at UFC Qatar. After that, he called out champion Ilia Topuria for a fight in January. However, Topuria went on a hiatus due to personal reasons. Now, Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje will fight for the interim belt at UFC 324, and the winner will face ‘El Matador’ later this year when he makes his return.
The MMA community and fans believe Arman Tsarukyan was not granted another title shot as punishment for pulling out of his UFC 311 title fight.
