Athletistic/MMA. New Zealand MMA fighter Dan Hooker has spoken about a possible fight between UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and Russian-Armenian fighter Arman Tsarukyan. Previously, Tsarukyan asked to offer him a title fight.

According to Hooker, Makhachev will try to avoid the fight.

“Their first fight was close. Tsarukyan can win, but Islam won’t want to fight him. It’s too risky. For Makhachev, there are stylistically easier fights. He will want to fight them.

There are bigger names. No one will want to buy a paid broadcast of the fight with Tsarukyan. No one will watch the press conference with him. Everyone would rather see Islam fight Conor McGregor or Justin Gaethje,” Hooker said according to The MMA Hour.
