Arman Tsarukyan intends to finish Dan Hooker in order to get a title fight with Ilya Topuria.
“I hope to beat Hooker, show my level in the fight with him, and then get a title shot in January or February. If I perform very well and finish Dan, Ilya will no longer be able to avoid me. I must show that I am ready for a title fight,” — Tsarukyan’s words are quoted by journalist Ariel Helwani on his social media page X.
