Former UFC double champion ‘does not understand’ how can Arman Tsarukyan miss next title shot

A former UFC double champion will be in absolute shock if the number one-ranked 155-pounder Arman Tsarukyan does not get to fight champion Ilia Topuria next.

Tsarukyan most recently defended his top spot by submitting Dan Hooker in round two of the UFC Qatar headliner, after which he called out ‘El Matador.’ However, Topuria has no interest in this fight. In a recent interview, the Georgian-Spaniard has said that he wants to fight Paddy Pimblett, or move up to 170-pounds to fight Islam Makhachev, or have a catchweight bout with Makhachev for the pound-for-pound spot.
