Arman Tsarukyan thinks Ilia is Topuria AP*Ssy.
After Topuria’s spectacular first round knockout from Charles Oliveira on UFC 317 to conquer the empty lightweight world title, Vecht fans wondered who will encounter his first official defending defense.
As it looks now, everyone seems to be shouting for Paddy Pimblett to get the nod after his viral face-off with Topuria in Las Vegas.
Then there is Justin Gaethje, who has threatened to completely retreat from the sport if he doesn’t get the first crack at ‘El Matador’. But in all the talk about Pimblett and Gaethje there is a man who is clearly overlooked.
Sitting on a 9-2 record with a win with four fights, Tsarukyan has earned his place more than the number 1 arranged lightweight competition. Unfortunately, Topuria doesn’t see it that way.
“They are going to give him a fight for the title shot, because there is no way,” said Topuria during a recent live stream with the Nelk Boys. “I am the world champion, I will never give him the chance to fight for the world title. I would be, listen, if that is the case, take my belt. I don’t do it.”
Tsarukyan clicks back
Tsarukyan got the wind of Topuria’s comments and went to social media and absolutely fragmented ‘El Matador’.
“Who wants to let Ilia know that he is not McGregor, and that he makes all the champions look bad – fighting champions against the #1 competition … but this is the same man who thinks he is the” BMF “, how do you say” pussy “in Spanish?” Tsarukyan wrote on X.
Tsarukyan was previously planned to challenge the former lightweight holder Islam Makhachev in January. Only hours before the combat evening ‘Ahalkalakets’ withdrew from the game that called a back injury.
The move placed Tsarukyan in the UFC Dog House for a while, because Dana White later claimed that Tsarukyan should go “back to the drawing board” after he was bent from the greatest chance of his career.
