Arman Tsarukyan denied Justin Gaethje's alleged refusal to fight him.
"I didn't say no. I immediately agreed, asking for a fight in the interim weight to 160 pounds (72.6 kg), but the UFC said it was not an option," - replied Tsarukyan.
Recall, Gaethje was supposed to fight Hooker, but the latter broke his arm and withdrew from the fight.
