UFC commentator Daniel Cormier has explained why Arman Tsarukyan’s snub worked well for the promotion.
At UFC 324, Justin Gaethje defeated Paddy Pimblett to become the new UFC interim lightweight champion. In the eyes of many, however, it should have been Arman Tsarukyan who was given the call, especially after his dominant win over Dan Hooker. Unfortunately for Arman, that didn’t quite come to fruition.

Ever since he was snubbed, there have been a lot of opinions flying around regarding the treatment of Tsarukyan by the UFC. Dana White made it clear that Arman needs to work to get back into the company’s good books, noting a few of the errors he’s made in the last couple of years.
In a recent video on his channel, Daniel Cormier gave his thoughts on both Ilia Topuria vs Justin Gaethje and the Tsarukyan situation.
