Jose Aldo set for October 4th fighting return vs. former UFC title challenger
@venum on InstagramUFC commentator Joe Rogan has declared that Arman Tsarukyan needs to get the next lightweight title shot after UFC 331.
At UFC 331, Arman Tsarukyan made a real statement. He was able to knock Mauricio Ruffy out cold with a vicious elbow, and in doing so, it feels like he has all but guaranteed himself a shot at the UFC lightweight championship – unless they decide to give it to Ilia Topuria, the former champ.

Arman Tsarukyan is one of the most notable figures in the UFC these days, and while he hasn't always been in the good books of Dana White due to some of his actions away from the cage, he is certainly talented enough to make a run at the gold at 155 pounds, and that much is obvious.
On the UFC 311 broadcast, Joe Rogan became the latest figure in MMA to call for Arman Tsarukyan to get the title fight.
Rogan's view on Arman Tsarukyan getting a title shot
“Get that man a title fight,†Rogan said on the UFC 331 broadcast. “There's nothing else to say. That is, right there, the No. 1 contender in the world. No ifs, ands or buts about it. That guy just made a statement.â€
“He knocked Ruffy into the shadow realm with two elbows,†Rogan said. “Just spectacular. I can't remember the last time someone standing elbow KO'd someone.â€
Quotes via MMA Junkie
Arman has had to wait for a while before getting his crack at the belt, but it certainly seems like now is the time for him to see if he can finally reach the top of the mountain.

UFC 334 betting lines move for Gane-Hokit and

Gane opened at -150 and is now at -235. The Frenchman is favored to

Tsarukyan cemented his status as the No.1 contender at
lightweight in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship with a first-round knockout
win.
Tsarukyan knocked out Mauricio
Ruffy with back-to-back elbows in the dying seconds of the
opening round in UFC
331's co-main event at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, further
strengthening his case for a title shot.
Tsarukyan finishes Ruffy with back-to-back elbows in the UFC
331 co-main event
Tsarukyan admitted the opening minutes of the bout were challenging
after Ruffy connected with some clean strikes, but he remained
confident that he would eventually find a finish.
“I feel great,†Tsarukyan said in a post-fight interview. “I was
looking for a finish and even the first round was kind of rough,
but I knew, like, I'm going to finish him. First punches, it's
always hard to defend because both of us, we're fresh. But Ruffy is
one of the best strikers, you know, we shouldn't forget about
that.â€
“The Batman†had swelling around his eye courtesy of a punch from
Ruffy, but managed to mix his martial arts and find the finish.
“I'm such a well-rounded fighter,†Tsarukyan added. “I know, like,
with wrestling, only wrestling, you cannot win the fights. You've
got to mix it up. I made the best statement that I could do
today.â€
