It&#8217;s the third-to-last UFC event this year, and the top two fights that round out the card are Arman Tsarukyan vs. Dan Hooker at lightweight and former UFC Welterweight Champion Belal Muhammad (24-4, 1 NC MMA) opposite Ian Machado Garry (16-1 MMA) in the co-headliner.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5a\">Tsarukyan (22-3 MMA) was initially slated to fight former UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev when Makhachev was still champion in January. A back injury sidelined Tsarukyan, as the UFC opted to go in a different direction after Makhachev eventually vacated his title to move up to welterweight.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5d\">With Ilia Topuria becoming the UFC Lightweight Champion at UFC 317 in June, it puts Tsarukyan back in a similar position: needing a win over someone with the caliber of Hooker (24-12 MMA) Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5g\">\u201cHe&#8217;s trying to find excuses like, \u2018I&#8217;m underdog [with] nothing to lose,\u2019\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/news\/arman-tsarukyan-has-gold-on-his-mind-in-doha-ufc-qatar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Tsarukyan told UFC.com. <\/a>\u201cHe came here to make money, but I came here to be a contender number one and to show everybody I deserve to fight for the title.
