Arman Tsarukyan draws Dan Hooker for UFC Qatar | MMA News
The Ultimate Fighting Championship will journey to Qatar for the first time on Nov. 22 with a combat card headlined by a bout between light-weight contenders.
No. 2 ranked contender Arman Tsarukyan takes on No. 6 ranked Dan Hooker at Ali Bin Hamad al-Attiyah Arena in the UFC Fight Night 265 featured combat. The combat promotion made the announcement on Wednesday.
Tsarukyan (22-3) last fought in April 2024, defeating former champion Charles Oliveira via break up determination. The win earned the Armenian a title shot. He was scheduled to take on then-champion Islam Makhachev at UFC 311 in January but pulled out of the combat the day before the event due to a back injury.
He was the backup fighter for the UFC 317 light-weight title bout between Ilia Topuria and Oliveira efficiently making weight but was not needed. He’ll make the stroll to the octagon on a four-fight successful streak.
Hooker (24-12) last fought at UFC 305 in August, defeating Mateusz Gamrot via break up determination. He’ll enter the combat using a three-fight successful streak.
