Arman Tsarukyan takes another shot at Justin Gaethje and proposes a high-stakes lightweight contender fight. Get the latest here!

Tsarukyan (23-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC), who pulled out of his fight against lightweight champion Islam Makhachev just one day before UFC 311, was told by the promotion that he has to fight his way back to the title shot. He’s happy to settle things with Gaethje for the No. 1 contender spot.

Tsarukyan was originally scheduled to challenge Makhachev at UFC 311 before withdrawing mere hours before the fight feigning a back injury. As a result, Renato Moicano was promoted to the evening’s main event, taking Tsarukyan’s spot.
