Joe Rogan Speculates on Arman Tsarukyan's Title Shot Prospects

Joe Rogan has expressed support for Arman Tsarukyan as a contender for the UFC lightweight title, although he anticipates a different matchup for champion Justin Gaethje. Tsarukyan is set to compete against Dillon Danis in the main event of RAF 14 this Friday.

Tsarukyan's last UFC appearance was in September, where he achieved a first-round knockout against Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 331. Despite being a strong contender, Rogan noted that Tsarukyan's previous withdrawal from a title fight against Islam Makhachev may have impacted his standing with the UFC.

Rogan suggested that Gaethje might opt for a rematch with Charles Oliveira instead of facing Tsarukyan, especially if Oliveira wins his upcoming fight against Diego Lopes at UFC 335. This situation raises questions about Tsarukyan's future title shot, as Rogan acknowledged that while Tsarukyan deserves a title fight, the dynamics of the division could lead to other outcomes.
