As you said, there are fighters that get title fights in only a few fights, what differentiates them from those who can't break into the top? They're good. I don't think there are any fighters ranked in the 7-15 tier with consistently good performance and on winning streaks that would stay in that tier for too long. So if we have fighters in that 2nd tier with a mix of wins and losses, they don't really deserve a title shot, and nobody from the top tier would want to fight them as there's nothing to win and there's no money to be made there.

As for the lightweight, we had Fiziev (2nd tier) fighting Gaethje (1st tier) now Tsarukyan (2nd tier) is fighting Dariush (1st tier) (which I see as a 50/50 match). Gamrot will likely get a chance to fight someone from the top 5 (perhaps Oliveira). So I don't think it's all that bad.

For sure some fighters have 2 to 3 fights and then UFC decided to give them a title shot that fast, and there is a success to that there are fighters that have been given an opportunity like that but they just blew it down for sure there is something like this and there are fighters that needed to make ranking 1st before getting the title shot,

I like your assessment of the Lightweight division for it is now exciting this way for me I like how they are fixed by rankings and for sure Charles Oliveira still has a chance to fight Islam Makhachev but for some reason got injured and replaced by Alexander Volkanovski, but for sure Charles Oliveira may have a hardtime against Makachev after witnessing that Islam Makhachev got great results,

You think odds on Arman are correct and justified?
I dont think he is going to be that dominant against Beneil Dariush like odds suggest, and I am thinking we could sea major upset here.
My best bet in this card is Deiveson Figueiredo, I think this is perfect him to return winning against Rob Font.

I really like Arman Tsarukyan's chance, it could be a 50/50 chance but in my opinion, because of his age the chance of getting a win might be possible, and because of this a younger fighter also has a chance of getting much improvement for sure Charles Oliveira is stronger than Beneil Dariush as I think he is not improving much I guess this is just what I think as Arman Tsarukyan looks pretty much improving over time than with Gamrot,
