Khamzat Chimaev Says Arman Tsarukyan Deserved a Title Shot Long Ago

Chimaev backed #1-lightweight Tsarukyan for a long-overdue shot, saying UFC matchmaking gets “weird.” “Longtime before he deserves this,” he said, hoping Arman finally gets the call. Tsarukyan, despite sitting atop the 155-lbs division, drew scrutiny after a Hooker headbutt and a fan punch. With Topuria linked to Islam or Gaethje, Chimaev says one more win makes Arman “undeniable” right now.
