UFC planned Tsarukyan vs. Chandler for White House event

Arman Tsarukyan disclosed that the UFC had plans to organize his fight against Michael Chandler at the White House event. According to Tsarukyan's comments, the UFC believes Chandler has a significantly better chance of winning against Renato Moicano (referred to as Ruffi) than against Tsarukyan himself. This suggests matchmaking considerations were influenced by perceived competitive advantages. The statement implies the UFC altered its plans, though no confirmation was given about current arrangements. The White House event remains a focal point of UFC's promotional calendar, with high-stakes matchmaking decisions being made.
