Sharaputdin Magomedov Blames New UFC Deal for Arman Tsarukyan Not Getting Title Shot

“The UFC got new sponsorships with Paramount Pictures, so they need Western audiences,” middleweight Magomedov said. He mentioned that "Gaethje is an American and has a big fanbase," while "Pimblett has also got great hype around him." Despite being the #1-ranked contender, the UFC set the interim lightweight title fight between Gaethje and Pimblett on January 24 in Las Vegas.
