Trevor Wittman, coach of Justin Gaethje, believes Arman Tsarukyan deserves the lightweight title fight the most.

“We all know how unstable the industry is. I truly believe that Tsarukyan deserves the title fight the most. But who knows what's happening behind the scenes? I also believe that the title bout is not a favor for Justin. He earned it through his fights,” Wittman told ESPN.

Let's recall that in the next fight, Gaethje will meet Paddy Pimblett.
