Ali Abdelaziz makes a bold prediction: Arman Tsarukyan will dominate Dan Hooker in a highly anticipated UFC Fight Night.
In a recent interview with Submission Radio, Abdelaziz expressed his confidence in Tsarukyan's abilities and made a controversial statement about Hooker's chances. He believes Hooker, despite his experience, is no match for Tsarukyan's skill set.
But here's where it gets personal: Abdelaziz holds a grudge against Hooker due to past controversies. He accuses Hooker of lying about Islam Makhachev, a fighter managed by Abdelaziz, and an IV-related incident. This has led to a clear lack of respect from Abdelaziz towards Hooker, which he openly admits.
"Arman is on a completely different level," claims Abdelaziz. He predicts a one-sided fight, with Tsarukyan 'torturing' Hooker in the octagon. This fight is a chance for Hooker to prove his worth, but according to Abdelaziz, it's a losing battle.
The history between Makhachev, Hooker, and Tsarukyan adds an intriguing layer to this matchup. Makhachev's quick submission victory over Hooker and the canceled rematch with Tsarukyan set the stage for an exciting lightweight division showdown.
And this is the part most people miss: Will Hooker be able to overcome the odds and silence his critics? Or will Tsarukyan live up to Abdelaziz's bold claim? The fight promises to be a thrilling display of mixed martial arts, leaving fans eager to witness the outcome.
