Arman Tsarukyan - Dan Hooker: betting tip and bets for the fight

Current form

We have not seen Arman Tsarukyan in the octagon since his difficult but very important split decision victory over Charles Oliveira in the spring of 2024. After that, Armand switched to grappling — in September, for example, he confidently strangled Benson Henderson — and, it seems, allowed himself to exhale a little.

The reasons for the downtime are quite understandable: on the one hand, the lack of financial pressure, on the other, the cooling of relations with Dana White after refusing to fight Islam Makhachev due to a back injury. The UFC president spoke out sharply at the time, and the situation left a mark. Nevertheless, Tsarukyan remains number one in the lightweight rankings.

Dan Hooker, like Armand, did not appear in the case for a long time. His last fight was a split decision victory over Mateusz Gamrot at UFC 305 in August. After serious arm surgery, he dropped out of the fight with Justin Gatji and disappeared from the combat clip for a long time. But he managed to become a promoter, and very successful — his short cuts gained popularity.

Hooker should not be underestimated, but Tsarukyan naturally remains the favorite. The New Zealander's break is associated with a serious injury, and such injuries rarely go away without a trace. Hooker is tough, dangerous, and resourceful, but against a top opponent, every risk can turn into a mistake. He is ranked sixth in the lightweight division.
