Dan Hooker isn’t interested in taking the easy road to a UFC title shot.
Just a few short years ago, Hooker looked like his days as a legitimate contender in the lightweight division were over. Now, ‘The Hangman’ has won three straight, including a massive split-decision W over Mateusz Gamrot last year.
Next, Hooker will look to climb towards the top of the top 10 when he meets No. 2 ranked Arman Tsarukyan at UFC Qatar on November 22.
“A lot of people see Arman as the toughest fight in the division, even more so than Ilia Topuria,” Hooker told Submission Radio.
