Israel
\nAdesanya<\/a> believes Arman
\nTsarukyan<\/a> needs to be more dialed in to reach the pinnacle of
\nthe sport.  <\/p>\n

Tsarukyan (23-3) is among the most popular stars in the
\nUFC<\/a> today, partly due to his regular appearances with social
\nmedia inlfuencers like Sneako, N3on, and Nina Marie-Daniele.
\nAdesanya believes Tsarukyan needs to spend more time training
\ninstead of hanging out with streamers if he wants to reach the very
\ntop of the sport. Adesanya admits that Tsarukyan\u2019s popularity has
\nskyrocketed due to his social media. However, the former
\nmiddleweight champion believes Tsarukyan might find himself
\nsidelined from the UFC lightweight title picture yet again.<\/p>\n

Choosing Priorities<\/h2>\n

\u201c[Arman\u2019s] streaming\u2026 Look, he knows how to train, he knows what to
\ndo but, to be at the top-top of the game, you can’t be hanging out
\nwith Sneako and N3on on the regular,\u201d Adesanya said on “The Mightycast.\u201d<\/a> \u201cYou gotta be in the gym\u2026 You
\ngotta be at least as active as possible. So Arman, popularity wise
\nI\u2019d say his stock is boom, shot up. He\u2019s doing the right thing. But
\nI think Gaethje sitting frontside at the Max vs. Conor fight in
\nVegas \u2013 he\u2019s already got the story there with Max \u2013 he wants
\nrevenge. But also Conor vs. Gaethje would feed families, it would
\nfeed f\u2014-ing countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tsarukyan has been deprived of a lightweight title shot despite
\nwidely being considered the most deserving contender.
\n\u201cAhalkalakets\u201d initially irked the UFC top brass by pulling out of
\na title challenge against Islam
\nMakhachev<\/a> last year. While many expected that Tsarukyan would
\nhave compensated by beating Dan Hooker<\/a>
\nthis past November, he still remains sidelined.<\/p>\n

Justin
\nGaethje<\/a> dethroned Ilia
\nTopuria<\/a> to win the lightweight title last weekend in a huge
\nupset. While Tsarukyan should ideally be the frontrunner for the
\nnext title shot, Conor
\nMcGregor<\/a>\u2019s return against Max
\nHolloway<\/a> at 329 next month could complicate things. <\/p>\n
