Adding a former UFC champion to your resume is a big deal, and that’s what Arman Tsarukyan did in his last outing.
Back in April 2024, Tsarukyan was matched up with former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira on the historic UFC 300 card.

That night at T-Mobile Arena Las Vegas, Tsarukyan had to survive dome close calls, almost getting submitting in Round 1 to come back and win a split decision over the Brazilian. It was by far Tsarukyan’s biggest career win.

Tsarukyan (22-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) makes his return to the octagon this Saturday in the main event of UFC Fight Night 265 – which takes place at ABHA Arena in Doha, Qatar (ESPN+). He takes on veteran Dan Hooker (24-12 MMA, 14-8 UFC) in a pivotal, five-round lightweight bout.
