Islam Makhachev Says Arman Tsarukyan Earned Title Shot With UFC Qatar Win

Makhachev said the #1-ranked lightweight's dominant win over Dan Hooker proved he’s ready for a title shot. Arman battered Hooker on the mat before locking up a second-round arm-triangle choke to extend his win streak. “I thought he would win, but not so dominantly. Arman made a good statement and showed he deserves his title shot,” the welterweight champion said.
