Arman Tsarukyan is no longer due for a UFC title opportunity, says Dana White.
Tsarukyan was expected to challenge Islam Makhachev in the main event of UFC 311 this past Saturday night. During the weigh-ins on Friday, White took to social media to announce that Tsarukyan was pulled from the card due to a back injury. “Akhalkalakets” was replaced by Renato Moicano, who was submitted in the first round.
While some believe that a rematch between Makhachev and Tsarukyan remains the most competitive lightweight title fight to book, White has revealed that the bout will not be rescheduled next.
