Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Arman Tsarukyan isn’t the preferred man at American High Group (ATT) proper now.
Final weekend (Sat., June 1, 2024), longtime ATT member Dustin Poirier challenged Islam Makhachev for the Light-weight title in the primary occasion of UFC 302. The 35-year-old veteran dug deep and compelled the champion right into a dogfight that lasted 5 rounds, exceeding the expectations of most. Regardless of the good effort, Makhachev proved his greatness with a slick d’arce choke deep within the combat (watch highlights). Each males earned a further $50k “Battle of the Evening” bonus for his or her efforts.
Tsarukyan, sadly, wasn’t impressed by his ATT group mate. Admittedly, Tsarukyan isn’t full time at ATT, however he was unnecessarily harsh in his evaluation of Poirier’s efficiency, describing him as “mentally damaged” and accusing him of giving up within the fifth. A little bit of a impolite factor to say about an older group mate who shattered his nostril, tore his ACL, and broke a rib whereas bloodying up the champion!
Predictably, different members of ATT didn’t recognize Tsarukyan’s critique or alternative of phrases. Former Tsarukyan foe Mateusz Gamrot — who labored extensively with Poirier to coach his wrestling for this bout and cornered him — responded merely, “Arman is a b—ch!”
Arman is a bitch!

As well as, ATT boxing coach Dyah Davis slammed Tsarukyan on-line for being faux. In an Instagram remark replying to Tsarukyan’s feedback, he wrote “This man, faux love and respect within the gymnasium however the second he has a chance to take a shot, he goes for it. B—ch transfer, he a clown.”
Given Poirier’s extremely revered stature within the ATT room — and the MMA world as a complete, for the report — I wouldn’t be shocked if this can be a bridge burned. If Tsarukyan is subsequent in line for an opportunity at Light-weight gold, his preparation in all probability gained’t happen in Coconut Creek, Florida at American High Group.

Payton Talbott attending to skate with Tony Hawk is fairly rad!
Think about if Dominick Reyes in some way returns in peak type this weekend.
Makhachev vs. Poirier actually was an absolute dogfight.
Eddie Alvarez didn’t take kindly to Strickland’s latest criticism of naked knuckle boxing, and if anybody has been there and carried out that, it’s “The Underground King.”
Slips, rips, and KO clips
Hernandez did a pleasant job of angling off as he fired his overhand.
I agree with Bas, I just like the vicious highlights and mushy music.
No want for that further shot in an novice combat …
