Arman Tsarukyan is thankful for Dan Hooker this Thanksgiving.
Despite being the top-ranked contender in the lightweight division, Tsarukyan was more than willing to put his spot on the line against anyone willing to step up and sign on the dotted line. And according to the Armenian, Hooker was the only one ready to put his money where his mouth is.
Headlining UFC’s big debut in Qatar, Tsarukyan left no question as to who’s first in line for a crack at Ilia Topuria’s lightweight crown after handily defeating ‘The Hangman’ via a second-round submission.
