Colby Covington Claims UFC Is ‘Icing’ Arman Tsarukyan Over Fight Refusals

Covington claimed the UFC pressures fighters to accept unfavorable matchups or risk being sidelined, pointing to #1 lightweight Tsarukyan as the latest example. “You’re forced to take what they give you, even if it’s not a good move for your career, or they’ll ice you,” he said. Tsarukyan, the former lightweight title challenger, has not been booked for his return.
