Matches to make after Tsarukyan vs Hooker

[alchemy]

His striking defense and gas tank are mediocre at best.


He can’t keep that wrestling pace for 5 rounds and his striking defense isn’t good enough to keep Topuria from testing his chin eventually. He’s already been rocked and wobbled multiple times in his career.

One thing is clear - time for easy fights for Topuria has finally come to an end. No wonder he tried to avoid Arman at all costs. This fight needs to happen.

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

In all fairness Armans wrestling only looks good against non wrestlers.


Gamrot and Mak took lil bro to wrestling school.

i think he won that gamrot fight 50/50 at worst

Bro fought Volk, Max, and Oliveira back to back. Idk what easy fights you’re talking about.

Arman doesn’t get through that schedule of 5 round fights.

 

[Portland8242]

Arman earned the title shot long before tonight. If ilia ducks Arman it will be a travesty.

Pimblett fanboys seething right now

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Agreed. Its Arman and Garry for the next title shots

 

[swizztony]

Garry does not deserve the TS over morales with that shitty performance

[GibsterMMA]

Garry does not deserve the TS over morales with that shitty performance

I’d give Morales the shot BUT I THINK they’ll give Garry the shot, if that’s the case give me Morales vs Shavkat

 

[VAfan]

hooker fiziev could be a fun fight - although i think fiz would be a bit too much for him.

 

[BowserJr]

Arman Tsarukyan vs Ilia Topuria
Dan Hooker vs Rafael Fiziev
Ian Machado Garry vs Islam Makhachev
Belal Muhammad vs Joaquin Buckley

I put 3 opponents for Acosta because I think all three are realistic for a December fight

I like this.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Or CTE Gaethje for that matter. Enough of these divas.

Are two wins over Fiziev between a devastating KO loss not enough for a title shot anymore?

No wonder he tried to avoid Arman at all costs.

How did this come about when Arman just had his first fight since UFC 300? How can you avoid a fighter who does not fight? Now if he starts downplaying the win over Hooker, I can agree he is avoiding him.

 

[rjmbrd]

Oh are we supposed to fault him cause all the other contenders ducked him, including Pimblett?

He was given a title shot and was not healthy enough to compete. Now its been over FIVE HUNDRED DAYS since he last fought. The division has moved on in that time and no I do not believe Dan Hooker is the only person who agreed to fight him in over a year.

I would like to have seen Islam x Arman and it made sense, it was unfortunate they didn't rebook it. Now over a year has past and things kept moving. I'm fine if Arman goes next, but saying its a mandate is absurd. The dude never fights.

Let's be real this fight should never of happened tonight should have Ben

Illia vs Armen

Instead illia will sit out for half or more than a year. While the n1 and paddy get screwed waiting and fighting .. illia will fight one of them and then wait another year.. it's kind of a joke

Yeah illia is great but who cares at this point if he never competes.

 

[Dr. Stoppage]

I don't wanna hear shit about Pimblett getting a title shot

Tsarukyan is a very legit #1 contender.

He fought Dan Hooker. Doesn't say much.

I was about to laugh if Hooker actually won and became the #1 ranked contender. That would show how bad 155 actually is.

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Arman even said he'd be ready for January, so there's no excuse for the UFC to not make Ilia vs Arman 234, but Paddy should be backup because we saw what happened last time they trusted Arman to headline.

I'm on the Morales > Garry for the first Islam fight. Either is good I'd be OK with prates too, just don't want to see Shavkat or Usman next.

Lewis vs Waldo would be cool addition to 233.

 

[Lou Duva]

He fought Dan Hooker. Doesn't say much.

I was about to laugh if Hooker actually won and became the #1 ranked contender. That would show how bad 155 actually is.

He’s clearly the biggest threat to the champ and it’s not close … and I mean hooker didn’t win he got destroyed so the if he won I was about to laugh comment doesn’t make sense to me .. if my aunt had a d*** She’d be my uncle

 

[gentel]

Or CTE Gaethje for that matter. Enough of these divas.

Agreed, but let's not pretend that Tsarukyan isn't also a diva

 

[Pierce 34]

I dont understand mma math..
Oliveira destroyed Gamrot on the ground but was competetive getting leveled by Arman

Olivera had home court advantage when he fought Gamrot

 

[Kaiserjuan]

Gotta be Arman vs illia … I don’t really agree with Garry getting a shot although he looked the best I’ve ever seen him easily

He looked good but I think he was getting hit way too much by that "Canelo-level" boxing

 

[Dagestanaev]

Fuck outta here with that shit.

Anything but Ilia vs Arman and we riot. Meaning we'll complain on Sherdog and still watch whatever the UFC decides.

Islam wants Usman, we riot ?
