He's still the best fighter in the world and still smokes everyone at 155. Just because Gaethje had a Buster Douglas moment doesn't mean this isn't anything but a footnote in Ilia's future goat status.
Ideal matchmaking at the top of the LW division:
- Gaethje vs Oliveira
- Topuria vs Pimblett
- Arman keep it up with your content with Nina-Drama, you're doing great buddy.
We can’t just pretend ilia isn’t the same at 155 after he knocked Charles out cold in round 1, I think he just completely overlooked Justin and had a horrible performance
Arman Tsaruykan has had 1 singular UFC fight since UFC 300 (AGAINST DAN HOOKER) and people will look at you and say “he deserves a title shot bro” how about fuck off
I been seeing a lot of posts saying that ilia deserves an immediate title rematch which is total bullshit considering he didn't even defend his title similar to the khamzat situation he didn't defend his belt
this is even worse because this fight didn't even go to the judges
😬⚖️ Alexander Volkanovski says not weighing in as backup for Topuria vs. Gaethje may hurt Arman Tsarukyan, as UFC are more likely to give opportunities to ‘company men’ who say yes to all offers
“So Arman not doing that I think is gonna hurt him, as the UFC, they like to favour you if you do them a favour and be company man, they will look after you.
Like Lopes, look at him. Look at the opportunities that blokes getting. He was at all of them [the big events], so they’re giving him this, they’re giving him that. He got two title fights in a row.”

Ilia murders VOLKANOVSKI, CHARLES OLIVIERA AND MAX HOLLOWAY...
but gets DOMINATED by withered fucking GAETHJE?!?!?!?!?!
YOU CANNOT PREDICT THIS SPORT LMFAO
I personally think you should stop cherry picking like a bitch. He was great and fought everyone who stepped up. Arman backed out of his literal first title fight. So sybau faggot
