Arman Tsarukyan thinks Justin Gaethje is not deserving of a title shot. After his comeback fight with Rafael Fiziev, Gaethje demanded a shot at the lightweight title. Gaethje stated that he has now won three out of his last four fights. And the only fight he lost was a highlight fight with Max Holloway. Surely, recovering from the thundering KO at UFC 300 was not easy. But Gaethje came back strongly to secure his victory over a gritty Fiziev. However, Tsarukyan is still not impressed with Gaethje’s antics.

Speaking on ‘The Schmo’ recently, Arman Tsrukyan stated that he does not think Gaethje is going to have a title shot. Instead, he will probably have to run it down with either Charles Oliveira or Tsarukyan himself.

“Gaethje wants to fight for the title. It makes sense to fight with me because nobody gonna give him title fight, it’s not gonna be fair. He gotta beat me or Oliveira to get a title fight. I think they gonna give me Oliveira or Gaethje, or maybe title fight. I don’t know yet,” said Tsarukyan.

Meanwhile, ahead of the matchup, Gaethje could be seen in a light mood with his opponent. He joked about why Fiziev was considered the favorite.

After coming off a long injury layoff, Rafael Fiziev accepted the Justin Gaethje fight on short notice. However, looking at the crowd reception, he got a little confused. Fiziev asked that although he had lost both of his previous bouts and hadn’t fought in a while, how was he still the favorite? Gaethje immediately had a hilarious reaction to share.

Boston beats the odds again, turns garbage to gold to force Game 7
Once, a wise man told the fans of the Boston Celtics that anything was possible. And in Game 6 of the 2023 Eastern Conference finals as the Celtics could have let their title aspirations and their season slip through their fingers as Jimmy Butler made free throws to put the Miami Heat up 1 with just 3 seconds left, Boston’s Derrick White remembered that fact. A miraculous tip-in won the game for the Celtics and put Boston in a position to be the first team in the history of the NBA to overcome a 0-3 series deficit on their way to punching a ticket to face the Denver Nuggets in the 2023 NBA Finals and another chance at winning Banner 18. They will do it on Monday at home, playing for history on their home court of TD Garden. The hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast sat down postgame to talk over a memory that will live on in Celtics lore for the ages. As well as what they expect to see in the best thing the NBA playoffs has to offer — a Game 7. The Celtics Lab podcast is brought to you by Fan Duel and Better Help. Learn more about your ad choices.

Boston wins Game 4 vs. Miami, but lose Kristaps Porzingis; what happens next?
The Boston Celtics won Game 4 of their 2024 NBA Eastern Conference first round series with the Miami Heat to take a commanding 3-1 lead at Kaseya Center on Monday night, but the win came at a cost. The Celtics lost star big man Kristaps Porzingis to what is being described as a calf strain, and could miss substantial time as a result. How does Porzingis’ injury impact the rest of the series vs. the Heat? Assuming Boston advances (and we should), how do the team’s rotations change in terms of minutes distribution of frontcourt minutes change — and who gets them? The hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast took a deep dive into Boston’s Game 4 results and what it means for the team moving forward. We also take a quick look around the league at some other developments that may impact Boston as well, focusing on what we want to see in Game 5.
