UFC lightweight talks about Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje allegedly being in the works

UFC lightweight Beneil Dariush recently claimed that the promotion was planning to book an Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje title fight. Dariush also pointed out how that title matchup would leave Paddy Pimblett and the winner of Arman Tsarukyan vs. Dan Hooker hanging.

In a recent interview with Submission Radio (via @RedCorner_MMA on X), Dariush said:

"I'm hearing rumors of Justin Gaethje, to be honest, getting the title shot. I don't know how true that is, we'll see how that goes. That kind of leaves Paddy [Pimblett] out. So, I don't know what's next, but I think the people who are most deserving would be the winner of [Tsarukyan vs. Hooker]."
