Yet Dana White pushed Tsarukyan aside and announced an interim title fight between Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje, leaving him in another difficult spot.

Even after doing everything to get back into Dana White’s good books, including serving as a backup fighter at UFC 317, the UFC still seems unsatisfied. Instead of wasting time, Arman Tsarukyan has decided to put his energy to use not inside the Octagon but on the mats.
