Tsarukyan Will Not Be Given a UFC Title Shot After Win Over Hooker: Coach Azizyan

Gor Azizyan, the founder and head coach of the Gor MMA club, commented on Arman Tsarukyan's victory over Dan Hooker in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net.

Arman showed a good fight. Tsarukyan did everything he wanted and won by stoppage. The next move is up to the UFC. If Arman had delivered the kind of fight that Ian Machado Garry and Belal Muhammad showed, then the UFC would have given Tsarukyan a title shot. But if it’s like this... They won't give him a title shot after a victory like this. Other people will fight for the UFC lightweight championship belt. Ilia Topuria will vacate the belt, and Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje will fight for the title.

The UFC Fight Night 256 tournament took place in Qatar on November 22, where Arman Tsarukyan secured a victory over Dan Hooker by submission in the second round in the main event of the evening.
