Arman Tsarukyan stated that Justin Gaethje was offered a fight with him, but the American refused. After that, Dan Hooker agreed to the bout.

“I heard that Gaethje said ‘no’, and Hooker agreed. Gaethje would have been preferable, but for me, there’s no difference. Both are easy money for me. Gaethje knows he can lose to me,” Tsarukyan said.
