American social media influencer Sneako has questioned the UFC and its CEO, Dana White, for not giving Movsar Evloev and Arman Tsarukyan title shots despite them being top contenders.
Last weekend, on Thanksgiving Day, White announced that next year’s first numbered event, UFC 324, when the promotion debuts on Paramount+, will be led by Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett. The two will compete for the interim UFC lightweight championship in Ilia Topuria’s absence.
Later in January 2026, UFC 325 will be headlined by Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes.
Not happy with UFC’s recent matchmaking, Sneako called out the promotion for giving Diego Lopes another title fight even as undefeated Movsar Evloev, the number one ranked UFC featherweight contender, awaits a title shot.
Sneako also highlighted that the UFC 324 interim lightweight title fight will not include number one ranked contender Arman Tsarukyan, and instead of him, number five ranked Pimblett will fight number four ranked Gaethje. The YouTuber said:
“Why does Diego Lopes get two title shots after Movsar Evloev beat him? Movsar is undefeated; he deserves the title shot. Arman deserves the title shot… Paddy f–king Pimblet? He hasn’t fought anyone under 39. Top 5? That’s the biggest factory in the industry… Why doesn’t the interim title fight include the number one contender? What’s the point of rankings?”

The UFC’s recent matchmaking has drawn criticism from a number of journalists, fans and pundits as it appears the promotion is more interested in making money than selecting fighters based on competence.

Renato Moicano believes Arman Tsarukyan’s withdrawal from his UFC 311 fight against Islam Makhachev was a major blunder for the future of the lightweight division.
Arman Tsarukyan withdrew at the eleventh hour due to a back injury, after which Moicano stepped in to fight the Russian and was submitted in Round 1. In a recent interview with Emiel Sardarean, Moicano said:
“When I fought Makhachev, Arman had to fight for the title, and he ruined the division. If Arman fought that night, the division would survive, but now we have Topuria going through a divorce; he doesn’t want to fight.”

Moicano also took a shot at ‘The Baddy’ and asked how the Brit who has beaten ‘no one’ can get a title shot:
“Look at [Paddy’s] cv. Who did he beat? Michael Chandler has had four or five losses. Tony Ferguson with eight defeats. Bobby Green after three defeats. And who did he beat in the top 15? Nobody. Absolutely no one. And he still gets a title shot? That’s insane.”
