White dismisses Tsarukyan press tour

    At the UFC 324 pre-fight press conference, Dana White brushed off questions about Arman Tsarukyan's recent media push.

    Interim challenger Paddy Pimblett also mocked Tsarukyan onstage, suggesting he was copying others and lacked presence.

    Tsarukyan has been appearing on influencer streams and posting content as part of a campaign for a title shot.

    The promotion instead booked Justin Gaethje vs. Pimblett for the interim lightweight belt, leaving the division's top-ranked contender sidelined for the event.

    According to sources, prior disciplinary incidents โ€” including a suspension and a weigh-in altercation โ€” were factors cited internally for his exclusion.

    The situation is reportedly unresolved and being handled behind the scenes; see the original report for more details.
