Arman Tsarukyan submits Dan Hooker in return

Dan Hooker called out Renato Moicano during his first interview after losing at UFC Qatar. The Brazilian fan favorite was choked out by Islam Makhachev when they clashed for lightweight gold at UFC 311 in January.
A victory over Tsarukyan not only positions Hooker closer to a title shot but also sets the stage for potential matchups with the current champion, Ilia Topuria. However, the path to a title shot is fraught with uncertainties, particularly with Topuria's rumored plans for a title defense early next year.
