"I've heard the reason because of what happened in Los Angeles. I thought by weighing in as the backup fighter when Ilia fought Charles and by going and fighting Dan Hooker it would be OK. I don't know what conversations they are having behind closed doors because they're telling him something that's making him OK with it."
"I thought by weighing in as the backup fighter when Ilia fought Charles and by going and fighting Dan Hooker it would be OK. I don't know what conversations they are having behind closed doors because they're telling him something that's making him OK with it.

Arman Tsarukyan remains outside the UFC lightweight title picture despite strong credentials and public expectation. Tsarukyan withdrew from a scheduled title fight due to injury and was subsequently kept out of immediate title contention. Tsarukyan served as a backup at a later event and then defeated Dan Hooker, reinforcing his contender status. The newly crowned champion announced a short hiatus, further complicating matchmaking. Observers note Tsarukyan’s muted response to the lack of a title shot and infer that private conversations with UFC officials may account for his apparent acceptance of the situation.
