UFC News: Dana White Weighs in on Arman Tsarukyan’s Recent Media Tour
At the UFC 324 pre-fight press conference, Dana White was asked to share his thoughts on Arman Tsarukyan’s recent media tour, which has been making waves in the mixed martial arts community. Tsarukyan, who has been building significant fan interest over the past few weeks, has been making appearances on various podcasts and platforms, including interviews with notable figures such as Adin Ross, N3on, and The MMA Guru, as well as a sit-down with Complex Sports.
One common theme throughout Tsarukyan’s interviews has been his criticism of Paddy Pimblett, with whom he has been engaged in a heated rivalry. The tension between the two fighters began when the UFC chose Pimblett to fight for the interim lightweight title over Tsarukyan, who was the number one contender at the time. Tsarukyan was denied a title shot due to several factors, including pulling out of his UFC 311 title bout, headbutting Dan Hooker before UFC Qatar, and punching a fan at UFC 300.
Pimblett, on the other hand, has been firing back at Tsarukyan with a series of jabs and mocking comments, further fueling the rivalry between the two fighters. When asked about Tsarukyan’s media tour, Dana White claimed he was unaware of the Armenian fighter’s recent activities, stating “I haven’t seen it.” Pimblett, who was seated next to White at the press conference, took the opportunity to take another dig at Tsarukyan, saying “He’s asking you why Arman’s trying to be like me, going around eating food. It’s because he’s got no personality, and he’s a little nit.”
