Justin Gaethje said Donald Trump’s call kept him from watching the first round of Arman Tsarukyan’s UFC 331 bout with Mauricio Ruffy. They talked golf for about four minutes; Tsarukyan knocked Ruffy out with an elbow four seconds before the round ended.
Gaethje said on the One Night With Steiny podcast that he had planned to watch the bout to assess a possible next opponent for his lightweight title defense. Tsarukyan’s knockout was described as likely earning him a shot at the 155-pound title.
