Former UFC lightweight champion Aljamain Sterling supported lightweight Arman Tsarukyan's decision to withdraw from his fight against champion Islam Makhachev.

On April 13, Tsarukyan won a split decision over Charles Oliveira at UFC 300. After the fight, the Armenian was offered to fight Makhachev on June 1 at UFC 302, but he declined. In the end, the title fight went to Dustin Porier.

"Title fights on short notice are risky business. I think Tsarukian did the right thing. I'd rather see him and Islam in better shape after a full camp. If Dustin Porier doesn't draw upsets in June. Exciting times!" - Sterling wrote on social media X.
