[@RabidNewts]

@@stevend481absolutely you can’t blame him for not fighting with an injury, but I’m SURE it left a sour taste in Dana’s mouth for arman to pull out 1 day before the fight. Unless he literally got hurt on friday, there should be no excuse for that.

[@SchecterIsKING]

He DOES NOT believe Tsarukyan was hurt. He was hinting at that with saying all that "Heather is considered the absolute bestvat what she does". He didn't wanna out Arman and sound bitter, but he was basically trying to say Heather thought he was okay to fight. LMFAO!!!

[@prestonpersonal]

The most likely scenario is that Armen realized he couldn't make weight. He's way bulkier than his Oliveira fight. Poor planning on his part

[@yomommashaus]

My take is that he hid the injury from the organization until last minute because he wanted to fight. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who fakes. Have you seen his training? He does a lot of hardcore wrestling exercises - entirely possible he injured his back.

[@oggyoggy1299]

Why would he lie to pull out?

[@kosMAGNET]

@oggyoggy1299 why do people ever lie? Who knows. Maybe he got in his own head last minute and is hoping Islam moves weight classes so he wouldn't take an L to tarnish his career/record. I'm just saying it's a possibility.

[@oggyoggy1299]

@@kosMAGNET Yeah, or he got injured.

[@stealthyturtles]

@@oggyoggy1299there’s a rumor he pulled out because he wouldn’t make weight. So if he fought off weight and won he wouldn’t have been awarded the belt and it wouldn’t be officially a title defense for Islam on the records Islam won. So Arman protected his rank 1 spot by pulling out and trying to make weight in the future. He pulled out hours before the weigh ins. All week long Arman was flipping around on his back and doing stuff so unless he did something crazy to train before the fight hours before it, he doesn’t really have an excuse.

These reporters suck. It’s always the same boring questions on repeat and you can tell Dana is sick of them too

If this was sold out, then its because third party ticket holders got screwed holding tickets. The place was over half empty.

[@Jay-ob1yq]

It was the led lights that made it look empty look on any fighter’s social media and you’ll see it was sold out

[@coreymacgregor176]

@Jay-ob1yq no during the co main event you can clearly see empty seats. It was "sold out" cause third party ticket sites buy them and re-sell them. However no one was buying them from the third party people. So tickets were bought and not re-sold. Price was way too high, and I'm right because the tickets didn't sell. The third party sites bought too soon. It's a gamble they take

[@coreymacgregor176]

@Jay-ob1yq it only looked sold out from the floor area, the stands above had barely 50% and more like 40% in the seats. Sad.

Jon Jones did something legendary going up in a weightclass outside of his natural weight, beat the champ in that class, then defended it against an established all timer in that class. Hes the #1 P4P L on Dana for caving to the pressure
