Arman Tsarukyan's recent wrestling performance has left Chael Sonnen in awe, as the Armenian star dominated Lance Palmer, a four-time All-American wrestler. Despite his impressive win, Tsarukyan's journey to the top is not without controversy. After being snubbed for a UFC lightweight title shot, he chose to compete outside the premier promotion, showcasing his versatility in different rulesets. This includes a grappling match against fellow UFC star Shara Magomedov, which ended in a draw. The question arises: should Tsarukyan continue his independent path? UFC boss Dana White has his reservations, citing Tsarukyan's head-butting incident with Dan Hooker as a reason for his lack of title shot. However, Tsarukyan's confidence and recent interest in a grappling match against Dustin Poirier suggest he's determined to prove his worth. The debate rages on: will Tsarukyan's independent path hinder or help his UFC career? The wrestling community eagerly awaits the outcome of this intriguing scenario.
