Russian UFC fighter Arman Tsarukyan is pointing out something controversial about big names in the UFC lightweight division. He claimed they were only looking for a fight between themselves. While a fight amongst the big names will draw huge pay-per-view buys, the Russian isn’t happy with the top lightweights facing just each other. In fact, fans even backed his displeasure.

‘Ahalkalakets’ has quickly risen to become one of the most promising prospects in the already star-studded lightweight division. Although he hasn’t fought against a big name apart from his debut loss to Makhachev, he has only lost 2 out of 8 fights.
