Daniel Cormier hints Arman Tsarukyan is staying quiet about title shot for a reason: “They’re telling him something”

Daniel Cormier thinks Arman Tsarukyan is aware of something, and hence, he is not loud about his title opportunity.

Ahalkalakets,’ who has been the number one UFC lightweight contender for more than a year now, got his first shot at UFC gold last year against then-155-pound champion Islam Makhachev. However, Tsarukyan pulled out of the high-stakes rematch at the last moment because of a back injury. Due to this withdrawal, the Armenian has had a hard time getting a second undisputed title shot.

After the pullout, Arman Tsarukyan served as backup for the UFC 317 title fight.
