Summary
- Tsarukyan believes UFC avoids matching him against Benoit Saint Denis.

- Tsarukyan questions Saint Denis's top-five potential after losses.
Arman Tsarukyan, currently the UFC's No. 1 contender, has expressed skepticism about the promotion's matchmaking intentions regarding Benoit Saint Denis. Tsarukyan believes the UFC deliberately avoids a potential fight between them, suggesting a fear that he would derail Saint Denis's career.
Despite Saint Denis's recent string of finishes, including a win over Beneil Dariush, Tsarukyan remains unimpressed. He highlighted Saint Denis's past losses to Dustin Poirier and Renato Moicano, questioning his ability to reach the top ranks. Tsarukyan's comments imply a belief that the UFC is protecting Saint Denis from a challenging matchup.
Tsarukyan recently secured a dominant submission victory over Dan Hooker in November. He is now questioning who the UFC will book him against next, expressing a willingness to face any opponent.
Saint Denis is scheduled to face Dan Hooker on January 31 in Sydney. Tsarukyan's remarks suggest he views this fight as a way for the UFC to keep Saint Denis away from a potentially career-ending bout with himself.
