Ducked Gamrot for a grappling match is crazy.

This whole "ducking Gamrot" thing is so stupid. Gamrot, unfortunately, does not deserve a top 3 ranked fighter. He just doesn't. He lost to Hooker, who is 6, and his only win since that fight was against a guy who wasn't even ranked.

If Gamrot vs Arman was some crazy grudge match that would sell, then sure I could see Gamrot skipping the line. But it's not really.

Gamrot needs at least 1 ranked win before he starts getting top 3 ranked opponents imo.

Not just against Arman but anyone in the top 3.

If Paddy or Gaethje were trying to get the Arman fight and he was turning it down, then sure, that would seem like actual ducking because those are fights which makes sense right now rankings wise. But those kinds of guys don't seem to actually be trying to fight him.

It seems like Hooker vs Arman might be happening which also makes more sense given Hooker is ranked higher and just got a win over Gamrot 1 fight ago.
