Arman Tsarukyan Accuses Ilia Topuria of Making Excuses Over Justin Gaethje’s Gloves

Ilia Topuria has turned the heads of every fight fan after his recent statement. The Spaniard has hinted that Justin Gaethje might have tampered with his gloves at their UFC Freedom 250 fight. On June 14, ‘The Highlight’ shocked everyone by handing Topuria the first loss of his career. Now, after this statement and accusation, fans have been slamming him in the comments. Meanwhile, Arman Tsarukyan has also joined the chorus and lambasted Topuria, calling it nothing but excuses.

Arman Tsarukyan Says Ilia Topuria Is Making Excuses

Recently, Topuria has finally shared some good news. He said his medical tests are done and he is ready to come back. Additionally, Topuria took a shot at Gaethje, saying he will make sure that his gloves are checked properly next time.

He never directly accused Gaethje of cheating, but the hint was enough to get the internet talking. Meanwhile, Tsarukyan dismissed Topuria’s comments and said he believes the glove issue is just an excuse. “He's complaining about gloves, but just excuse,” in his words.

Not only that, Tsarukyan also feels that Topuria won’t be the next one to fight Gaethje for the undisputed title and believes he will get the opportunity instead. He has been waiting for a title shot for a long time but has been snubbed back to back.

Now that ‘El Matador’ has suffered a brutal loss to Gaethje, Tsarukyan’s chances seem higher, but the champion appears to want the rematch first.

Justin Gaethje Responds to Ilia Topuria’s Claims

Gaethje does not believe fans will agree with Topuria’s comments. As for a rematch with Topuria, Gaethje said he would happily do it. He pointed out that he already beat him once, but he is still ready to fight him again.

He stated, “People don’t believe that. I’ve done that to everybody’s face that I’ve fought. Am I willing to ? I just beat the sh*t out of him. Of course I would.”

Undoubtedly, what happened at UFC Freedom 250 was truly a shocker for everyone. No one had expected that ‘El Matador’ would lose, especially in that manner. He has himself said that his face looked unrecognizable to him, and now the exchange between the two has added fuel to their rematch.
