And Jorge Masvidal fears that he could possibly be letting a golden opportunity slip between his fingers.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jorge Masvidal advises Arman Tsarukyan on UFC future<\/h2>\n<p>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\u2019s biggest stars by yr\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s widely believed that he&#8217;ll get the following shot at lightweight gold, but Masvidal isn\u2019t so sure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if Arman gets the winner,\u201d 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. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDana could possibly be as stubborn as anybody I\u2019ve ever seen. Really, Dana\u2019s the one which put a stop on it, and he\u2019s the one one which can lift that. No one in that company can say when Arman goes to fight and it sucks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m certainly one of those guys who says \u2018yeah, he f\u2014ed up\u2019. I feel it was either the day before or the day of [UFC 311] he pulled out. He f\u2014ed up. You sat him out already but how for much longer are you able to sit this guy out, ? <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so far as name goes at 155, besides Charles Oliveira which he beat, he\u2019s got the most important name, biggest clout, biggest following. I just wish to see that fight [for the title] already and I don\u2019t want it to be like 4-5 years from now. I\u2019d reasonably it&#8217;s while each are of their prime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel he\u2019s a next-level athlete with the speed, the facility, he\u2019s an outstanding athlete. He can fight really, really good, but I\u2019d put my money on Ilia [to beat him]. I respect Arman, I feel he\u2019s among the best lightweights on the market but I\u2019m putting my money on Ilia.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"see-more-wrapper lazy see-more-open see-more-blank extra-content\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/2026\/04\/28\/arman-tsarukyan-warned-he-could-be-wasting-his-star-power-with-lack-of-ufc-fights\/none\" data-type=\"subscribe\">\n<div class=\"see-more subscribe\">\n<figure class=\"newsletter\">\n<div><svg class=\"loading\" width=\"118\" height=\"36\" viewbox=\"0 0 118 36\"><use href=\"#dots-svg\"><\/use><\/svg><\/p>\n<div class=\"signup\"><span class=\"hf\">Join Our Newsletter<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Receive a digest of our greatest Bloody Elbow content each week direct to your mailbox<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Follow us on Google Discover Arman Tsarukyan has been warned that his recent rise in fame could possibly be for naught if he can\u2019t book himself a UFC fight soon.
