UFC Lightweight Competent Arman Tsarukyan's beef with Paddy Pimblett made one of his former rivals furious.
Arman Tsarukyan has to go back to the drawing table when pursuing a lightweight title shot after his notification in January. While speculation is whirl with regard to the next fight by Tsarukyan, he has inflamed a feud with UFC star Paddy Pimblett, and one of his former enemies is not happy with it.
Tsarukyan was supposed to be confronted against UFC light weight champion Islam Makhachev in the UFC 311 headliner before he cancel for hours due to back issues. After Makhachev Renato Moicano had defeated the new UFC 311 Main Event, UFC CEO Dana White said that Tsarukyan will have to win at least one fight before he earned another title shot.
A potential opponent would be the winner of Pimblett vs. Chandler can be from the UFC 314 Co-Main event this weekend. If Tsarukyan had the choice, he would probably come across Pimblett afterwards, after the two went back and forth on social media.

Mateusz Gamrot responds to the tirade of Arman Tsarukyan on Paddy Pimblett
It all started when Tsarukyan responded to the allegations of Pimblett with regard to his UFC 311 departure.
“The man who got the easiest path to the top in UFC just because he has a funny accent and budget Beatles hairstyle,” Tsarukyan posted.
“I challenge you to call myself out if you win and we will see who s – his pants in the Octagon when we meet clown.”
Shortly after Tsarukyan's tweet was posted, one of his former enemies scolded him because he dived a potential rematch.
In a recent message to X, Mateusz Gamrot responded to the tirade of Tsarukyan.
“Stop searching for simple fights, especially with a clown,” Gamrot replied.
“Without ambition you will never become a champion, you have the chance to take revenge, so accept it.”
Gamrot handed Tsarukyan one of his only UFC defeats in 2022 in a candidate 'Fight of the Year'. After five rounds, Gamrot squeaked a unanimous decision victory on Tsarukyan before he fell to Beneil Dariush on UFC 280.
At the moment Tsarukyan did not respond to the tweet of Gamrot. Tsarukyan has won four consecutive fights since the loss for Gamrot.
Joe Rogan blamed Arman Tsarukyan the weight area, no withdrawal, for UFC 311 pullout
While Tsarukyan blamed his shocking UFC 311 recovery, UFC commentator Joe Rogan was not sold on that story. Rogan claimed that the hard weight of Tsarukyan until 155 lbs was the real reason behind his decision to withdraw from Makhachev's fight.
Tsarukyan remains non -unpleasant that his decision to withdraw strictly on injuries was based and had not to do with his weight cut before UFC 311. Makhakev went fighting against Renato Moicano in the UFC 311 Main Event.
Tsarukyan could be confronted with another top candidate, such as the Pimblett/Chandler winner, Justin Gaethje, or a rematch with Oliveira for his next fight. He is expected to return this summer after his back problems were less serious than the first thought.
Pimblett has the chance to shake up the lightweight title mix this weekend on UFC 314. If that is the case, don't be surprised if he calls Tsarukyan for a no. 1 candidate fight.
