Tsarukyan is not interested in a fight with Poirier
Top Armenian UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan explained why he doesn’t see the point in a fight with the former interim division champion Dustin Poirier.
“Gaethje and Poirier are trying to get a fight with a striker from the top five of the rating. They never fight anyone in the top 10 or top 15, you know? Honestly, I don’t want to fight Dustin because he lost his last fight. This doesn't make sense. If I beat him, people will just say, 'Oh, Poirier just lost his last fight.'
Dustin is a legend. I respect him. He is a great fighter and won the interim title. He's defeated a lot of tough opponents and he's a very good fighter. Watching his fights is always interesting. However, at the moment there’s simply no point in fighting him,” Poirier said on The MMA Hour.
