Quick read
UFC reportedly favoring Justin Gaethje over Arman Tsarukyan for a title opportunity at UFC White House to feature 'an American guy holding a title.' Tsarukyan, a top lightweight contender, faces further delays amid matchmaking preferences. Gaethje, newly crowned 2-time interim lightweight champion after beating Paddy Pimblett at UFC 324, aligns with UFC's patriotic event theme on June 14. This decision highlights divisional politics, potentially setting up Gaethje vs. Ilia Topuria unification. Expect Tsarukyan frustration to grow as American stars prioritized for landmark card.
