Sharaputdin Magomedov Breaks Down Why Arman Tsarukyan Didn’t Get the Title Shot

Sharaputdin Magomedov has shared his views on why the UFC did not give Arman Tsarukyan a second title shot. Tsarukyan, the number one UFC lightweight contender, was given his shot at becoming the 155-pound kingpin earlier this year at UFC 311. However, the Armenian fighter had to withdraw at the eleventh hour because of a back injury.

Not happy with the pullout, UFC CEO Dana White had said at the post-fight presser that ‘Ahalkalakets’ is going back to the drawing board and will have to work his way up for another title opportunity.
