UFC president Dana White has given his thoughts on Arman Tsarukyan punching a fan in the crowd at UFC 300. Last night, Arman Tsarukyan picked up the biggest win of his career. He squeaked out a win over Charles Oliveira, and he did so by the skin of his teeth. It was an incredibly tight fight, with Oliveira almost submitting Tsarukyan on two occasions. Alas, he didn’t get the job done, and Arman will now have his sights set on a future lightweight title shot.

It seems that UFC President Dana White and Conor McGregor are finally on the same page. ‘The Notorious’ hasn’t competed since a first-round stoppage loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021. As fans likely remember, Conor McGregor snapped his leg in that defeat. As a result, he was forced to the sidelines for well over two years. McGregor even filmed the remake of Road House with Jake Gyllenhaal in the meantime.
