No hype for Arman Tsarukyan?

[Kaynan]

If Muslims don’t like him that’s even more reason to jump on his bandwagon.

Islam = cancer.

lol your low IQ is showing bro

The caucus mountain men....I'm one of them. But im Christian

So you’re Georgian or Armenian?

 

[Koro_11]

Im sorry, but why the hell do you think he deserves someone like #5 Hooker when his best wins are Ramos and OAM? At best, he deserves someone like #15 Dober or #14 Gillespie.

Did Hooker “deserve” these fights?

 

[Celeron]

You think he could beat Volkanovski?

He has a really good chance, I would I say it’s a toss up at this point. Obviously his wrestling is very good, but now his standup is also looking great. I was very impressed with what he did against Davi Ramos on his feet.

Besides being on the small side at LW, his chances of of getting a title shot at 145 are also much better. He really should drop.

Did Hooker “deserve” these fights?

Why wouldn't he? He was on a four fight finish streak going into the Barboza fight while Barboza was coming off two losses in a row.

Al was coming off a loss and Hooker was coming off a KO of Vick.

Ok fine, and now it’s Hooker coming off a loss, while Arman has won 2 straight and 14 of his last 15, so I see nothing wrong with matching them up.

Hooker at least was on a 4 fight finish streak (back to back first round finishes) beating good names like Miller, Burns and diakiese. Hooker was also ranked. Arman doesn't have a finish yet in ufc and is unranked. Like I said, you could give him Dober or Gillespie. But Dober for example deserves someone higher than him with his current streak. I think much better matchmaking would be Arman VS Leonardo Santos or trinaldo. Winner gets someone ranked in the #11-14 range.

Dude arguably beat Makhachev, at his own game too, and has a very impressive record and a better finish percentage. Haven’t seen a single thread about him, I’m sure there’s been some but the guy is flying completely under the radar at 155.

He is only 24 and showed a ton of potential, last fought in July and is due for a new opponent.

I say give him someone like Dan Hooker, I think he’s already top 10 material and a future title contender. Watch his fight against Islam, dude is very legit, just lacks a bit of experience.

 

[KrisYela]

I don't think he beat Islam but I absolutely love this kid. He's only going to get better and better.

What about now? Hooker just got treated like one again, and Arman just had another great performance.

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

Wouldn't mind seeing Arman vs Hooker. Hooker is on a 2 fight losing streak, it's definitely time for him (and Tony and Felder) to fight some up and comers. Shit, we should see Islam vs Tony while we are at it.

 

[MarloStanfield]

Sounds like someone off game of thrones

 

[Noraaq]

He would murk overrated guys like Hooker and felder

 

[The_Renaissance]

Gonna say it. I don't see the hype with this kid, at present. He can't finish his dinner. He's a jack of all trades type of fighter, master of none, so I expect him to be a real decision machine as he climbs the ranks. I'd have him fight someone like Ismagulov next.

 

[Koro_11]

He is boring, no one cares about his religion or country

He’s exactly like Khabib.

 

[Spath]

He’s exactly like Khabib.

He’s nothing like Khabib.

 

[Koro_11]

He’s nothing like Khabib.

He’s fighting style is a lot like Khabib.

 

[Koro_11]

except khabib is fun and cool

What?

What are they doing in the octagon that’s so different? I’m not a 14 year old girl ffs, I don’t care who has more Instagram followers or smart ass tweets, talk to me about substance pertaining to the sport.

Arman still isnt ranked and Hooker is. If Arman happens to be ranked when the new rankings come out on Tuesday then he will be #15 at best and Hooker will still be in the #6-8 range. But realize that Arman just missed weight so he likely wont get a ranking. Also dont think Arman deserves a ranking over someone like Fiziev. Give Arman someone like Nasrat, Riddell or Trinaldo.

Khabib finish fights and not a decision machine
