Arman Tsarukyan is wondering what else he has to do to get his UFC championship shot.<\/p>\n
The top lightweight contender recently returned to action at UFC Qatar, we\u2019re he ran through Dan Hooker in the main event en route to a second-round submission. It was Tsarukyan\u2019s fifth straight win, his 10th in his past 11 fights, and more than enough for him to hold on to his No. 1 spot in the UFC\u2019s official contender rankings<\/a>.<\/p>\n In response, Tsarukyan posted a brief and bewildered message on social media:<\/p>\n \u201cMake it make sense,\u201d Tsarukyan wrote, adding a facepalm emoji.<\/p>\n Tsarukyan has reason to be upset given his consistent in-cage success; however, he might still be out of favor with the matchmakers. White pulled no punches<\/a> this past January when Tsarukyan suffered a back injury that forced him to withdraw from a UFC 311 main event title fight with Islam Makhachev just two days before the event, and Tsarukyan drew more negative headlines when he senselessly head butted Hooker<\/a> during their faceoff ahead of UFC Qatar.<\/p>\n It is unclear what the plan is now for Tsarukyan, who likely has to wait and see what unfolds with Gaethje, Pimblett, and Topuria next year.<\/p>\n See more from Tsarukyan\u2019s social media below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arman Tsarukyan is wondering what else he has to do to get his UFC championship shot.
