Dustin Poirier has reacted to Arman Tsarukyan’s claims about Alexander Volkanovski being a good/perfect fight for him stylistically.

Tsarukyan made this claim a few days ago in an interview with Helen Yee. He said:

Yeah, I would fight him. He’s old, bad chin. He’s a tough opponent, but he’s a little bit old now. For me, it’s a perfect fight.

In the latest episode of Deep Waters, Din Thomas brought up Tsarukyan’s comments about the featherweight champ. Reacting to the same, Dustin Poirier said:

Arman’s a great fighter, but it’s probably tougher matchup than he’s saying, man. Volk is no easy out for anybody.

‘The Diamond’ added:

And he showed his wrestling defense against Islam [Makhachev]. That’s a tough fight.

Chris Weidman Agrees With Dustin Poirier’s Take on Arman Tsarukyan Calling Alexander Volkanovski A Perfect Fight

Chris Weidman opined on the same after Dustin Poirier’s comments. The former middleweight champ brought up Alexander Volkanovski’s recent win over Movsar Evloev, who has ‘got great wrestling,’ to make a claim that it wouldn’t be possible to ragdoll ‘The Great.’

He said:

It’s gonna be hard to imagine you just think you’re gonna ragdoll him [Volkanovski]. Look at Evloev [Movsar]. Evloev has got great wrestling, but it didn’t work out for him.

Weidman then went on to say why he found an otherwise ‘humble’ Tsarukyan ‘funny.’

Arman’s funny, because he seems like a very humble dude. He doesn’t really smile much, and is usually humble, but then these things come out of his mouth, and it’s actually funny.

Tsarukyan’s next fight in the UFC might be in early 2027, and it would be for the lightweight title. Prior to that, in November, he has an RAF match against Neiman Gracie in Abu Dhabi.

Carlos Prates seems extremely frustrated with UFC welterweight titleholder Islam Makhachev’s inactivity and fake promises.

Makhachev, after beating Ian Machado Garry at UFC 330, had opined that Prates should be the one challenging him next, and that he would love to enter the octagon before Ramadan 2027 to face the knockout artist. However, later, the Russian phenom changed his plans completely.

Makhachev now believes that since Prates has lost to Garry, the Brazilian now must beat undefeated contender Michael Morales before fighting for the title.

The UFC has already announced an interim title fight between Prates and Morales, which will serve as the UFC 336 co-headliner.

However, “The Nightmare” seems really pissed, as he now has to do double the work to become an undisputed UFC champion because Makhachev decided to sit out and watch a No. 1 contender bout/ interim title fight instead of defending his strap.

Carlos Prates TORCHES Islam Makhachev

Carlos Prates, during a sit-down with Laerte Viana, sent a chilling warning to two-divison titleholder Islam Makhachev. He quipped:

“He chickened out… I’m going to come back and beat Makhachev twice as badly as I was going to before. Just so he learns his lesson and stops being such a coward.”

Prates also added that the UFC was “pissed” with Makhachev for acting like an “assh*le” and not being ready to fight him in January.

“The UFC was pissed. They didn’t like it. If you don’t have a serious injury and you’re not hurt, then fight, man. Your contract is for this. This is your job. If you don’t want to fight, vacate your belt, and that’s it. But instead you act like an as*hole. That’s some as*hole sh*t, you know.”

The 32-year-old also had another message for the P4P king:

“You’re unsure whether you’re going to fight in January or not? Then don’t go around talking about it, man. Just stay quiet, fake an injury or something. It would honestly be less bad if you faked an injury and pretended you were hurt.”
