DANA WHITE ISN’T HAPPY WITH ARMAN TSARUKYAN RIGHT NOW

If there is one fighter who has gotten himself on the wrong side of UFC CEO Dana White, it is Arman Tsarukyan.  

Tsarukyan had a post-fight brawl with Georgio Poullas at RAF 6 last weekend and White isn’t loving what Tsarukyan did at the show. 

“I don’t love it,” White said at the UFC 326 post-fight press conference (transcript via Damon Martin of MMA Fighting). “But that night, that was somebody else’s problem, not mine. That’s really all I’ve got to say about that. The division’s heating up and lots of fun fights to make. We’ll get Arman figured out.” 

The lightweight contender first got on White’s bad side last year when he pulled out of a lightweight title bout against Islam Makhachev on weigh-ins day. 

White says there are other behind the scenes stuff that has taken place that has shaped his dislike of Tsarukyan. 

“I’m not thrilled with Arman right now,” White said. “And there’s a lot of different reasons. It’s not just the stuff that you see publicly.”
