Arman Tsarukyan Says Dan Hooker Tougher Matchup Than Paddy Pimblett or Justin Gaethje

#1-ranked lightweight assessed potential future opponents, naming Hooker as the hardest stylistic test. “His style is really tricky for wrestlers… It’s hard to close the distance with him; he’ll keep countering you. Nasty blows with his legs,” he said. While Pimblett and Gaethje offer danger in other areas, Tsarukyan believes Hooker’s striking makes him uniquely difficult to handle.
