Major Fighters in UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs. Hooker
Arman Tsarukyan
Arman Tsarukyan had one of the toughest UFC debut fights ever, facing Islam Makhachev. Although he lost to the former lightweight champion, he looked excellent and won the fight of the night bonus. After that, Tsarukyan went on a 5-fight win streak before losing a close decision to Mateusz Gamrot in another fight of the night. He has had a further 4 wins since then. Tsarukyan had been scheduled for a rematch with Makhachev in January, but pulled out due to injury and will now hope to secure another title shot with a win.
Dan Hooker
Hooker has a 24-12 MMA record with 14 wins and 8 losses in the UFC. At the beginning of his career, he fought in the featherweight division but has looked far more impressive at lightweight. Between 2020 and 2022, he fought 7 times, with 3 wins and 4 losses, including 2 KO losses. However, he’s currently on a 3-fight win streak. His last 2 wins were over Mateusz Gamrot and Jalin Turner.
Belal Muhammad
Muhammad won the welterweight belt from Leon Edwards in 2024, shutting his opponent down with his superior grappling game. Although he isn’t known for his finishes, Belal has a stellar record of 24-4, with 15 wins in the UFC and 2 in Bellator. After winning the belt, he faced Jack Della Maddalena this summer and lost a unanimous decision in a fight that won the fight of the night bonus.
Ian Machado Garry
Since arriving in the UFC from Cage Warriors in 2021, Garry has looked like a future title challenger, going on an 8-fight win streak through the welterweight division before he lost his first professional fight to Shavkat Rakhmonov in 2024. Since then, he’s bounced back with a strong win over Carlos Prates. His overall record now stands at 16-1 with 9 wins in the UFC, 3 of which were KO/TKO.
Fight Card & Betting Odds
Main Event
Tsarukyan had earned his title shot, but after pulling out due to injury, he’ll now need another win to get a chance to fight for the belt. His grappling skills make him one of the most difficult fighters in the lightweight division, and he’s built a 22-3 professional record, with 9 wins and 2 losses in the UFC. He’s the big betting favourite according to the latest UFC odds, with most expecting his grappling to be too much for Hooker.
Hooker has earned a reputation within the UFC as one of the toughest fighters. His fights against Paul Felder, Dustin Poirier and Mateusz Gamrot all earned Fight of the Night bonuses, and he came back from nearly being knocked out to beat Jalin Turner too. Despite his undeniable toughness, most expect Tsarukyan to be able to finish him.
Co-Main Event
Belal Muhammad went on an impressive 9-fight win streak in his path to winning the welterweight title. Although his title reign was short, he still looked good in his fight against Jack Della Maddalena and remains a threat to anyone in the division. His main strength is his offensive wrestling and pressure, which he can use to shut down the striking of his opponents.
Garry tasted defeat for the first time in his professional career against Shavkat Rakhmonov, but he showed he still belongs in the top rankings of the welterweight division with his win over Carlos Prates. If he can beat Belal, he’ll have earned a title shot, and the current MMA odds show him as the favourite. However, it will be a tough fight, with Belal’s grappling no doubt proving a big threat.
