Arman Tsarukyan warned he could possibly be wasting his star power with lack of UFC fights

Arman Tsarukyan has been warned that his recent rise in fame could possibly be for naught if he can’t book himself a UFC fight soon.

After pulling out of the fundamental event of UFC 311 last yr, Tsarukyan found himself on the outs with the promotion. Nonetheless, he has gone on to make himself an enormous name through an aggressive media tour, streaming appearances and nearly biweekly competition in RAF Wrestling and Hype FC grappling.

Does Arman Tsarukyan deserve his spot in the highest 10, if not, who would you replace him with?🤔

Arman Tsarukyan is currently some of the popular fighters on this planet.

He has only fought within the octagon once during this meteoric rise, defeating Dan Hooker within the fundamental event of UFC Qatar last November. And Jorge Masvidal fears that he could possibly be letting a golden opportunity slip between his fingers.

Jorge Masvidal advises Arman Tsarukyan on UFC future

One man who capitalized on a late-career influx of followers was former welterweight title challenger Jorge Masvidal. He went from a middle-of-the-road contender initially of 2019 to certainly one of the game’s biggest stars by yr’s end.

The promotion even invented a belt for him within the BMF title. He won the strap from Nate Diaz in a Madison Square Garden headliner just months after shock knockout wins over Darren Till and Ben Askren made him a household name, and ended up getting real title fights in 2020 and 2021.

And he is worried that if Arman Tsarukyan is benched for for much longer, he could possibly be unable to capitalize on his newfound fame. It’s widely believed that he’ll get the following shot at lightweight gold, but Masvidal isn’t so sure.

“I don’t know if Arman gets the winner,” Masvidal opined during his Death Row MMA podcast while talking in regards to the next title fight once Justin Gaethje and Ilia Topuria have competed at UFC White House this June.

“Dana could possibly be as stubborn as anybody I’ve ever seen. Really, Dana’s the one which put a stop on it, and he’s the one one which can lift that. No one in that company can say when Arman goes to fight and it sucks.

“I’m certainly one of those guys who says ‘yeah, he f—ed up’. I feel it was either the day before or the day of [UFC 311] he pulled out. He f—ed up. You sat him out already but how for much longer are you able to sit this guy out, ?

“And so far as name goes at 155, besides Charles Oliveira which he beat, he’s got the most important name, biggest clout, biggest following. I just wish to see that fight [for the title] already and I don’t want it to be like 4-5 years from now. I’d reasonably it’s while each are of their prime.

“I feel he’s a next-level athlete with the speed, the facility, he’s an outstanding athlete. He can fight really, really good, but I’d put my money on Ilia [to beat him]. I respect Arman, I feel he’s among the best lightweights on the market but I’m putting my money on Ilia.”
