Joe Rogan advocated for Arman Tsarukyan to receive a title shot following his knockout win over Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 331 in Los Angeles. Tsarukyan, improving to a six-fight winning streak, won with a standing elbow knockout late in the first round. UFC CEO Dana White acknowledged Tsarukyan's strong position in the lightweight division but did not confirm his next fight plans, as champion Justin Gaethje has yet to decide on defending the title. Rogan emphasized that Tsarukyan made a compelling case for contention, stating he is undoubtedly the No. 1 contender for Gaethje's title.
