The next title fight in the lightweight division of the UFC was apparently decided in the cage on UFC 317.
Paddy Pimblett shared a heated face-off with Ilia Topuria after having stepped into the octhoek after the conclusion of the main event.
Arman Tsarukyan was critical of the Staredown after his position if the #1 competition was skipped at 155 pounds in favor of the greatest rivalry of the division.
Although Tsarukyan is convinced that he could deduct Topuria now that 'El Matador' has become the new champion, he is clearly not so sure about the opportunities of Pimblett.

Arman Tsarukyan does not believe that Paddy Pimblett can beat Top UFC light weights that are in their prime
In a recent interview with ESPN MMA, Arman Tsarukyan entered with his thoughts about Paddy Pimblett and where he stands in the lightweight division.
The top candidate did not fully reject the controversial star of the controversial star, but he has added a crucial reservation to his assessment of 'The Baddy'.
The stock of Pimblett has received some pushback with attention that is drawn by the fact that his greatest victories have come to the end of their career.
With that in mind, Tsarukyan does not believe that the pronounced Brit has the potential to beat some of the best hunters currently in their prime, instead of having a downward route.
Although he thinks Pimblett could come to the top of the names that are currently in the top five, there are three principals for this.
“He is legitimate but not like a top five hunters. He can beat it like Charles [Oliveira] Maybe now. He might be able to beat [Justin] Gaethje but he will never beat [Ilia] Topuria, me or Islam [Makhachev]who are currently in their prime numbers. He can beat fighters who are almost retired or in their last fighting. '
Arman Tsarukyan threw the same criticism of Ilia Topuria on social media
Although the recent series of versions of Ilia Topuria have been downright spectacular, there are some who claim that 'El Matador' has defeated legendary hunters who are no longer at their best.
The stock of Max Holloway was incredibly high at the time of their UFC 308 collision, but the same cannot be said for Alexander Volkanovski and Charles Oliveira, who recently suffered losses when Topuria fought against them.
After he claimed that Paddy Pimblett cannot beat the top light weights that are in their prime, Arman Tsarukyan Topuria criticized a similar explanation.
It is not clear what the following is for Tsarukyan after the results of UFC 317, although he recently revealed that he rejected a fight with Mateusz Gamrot later this month because they both train in the same gym.
