Arman Tsarukyan sent a message to lightweight champion Ilia Topuria in the main event of UFC Qatar, and then sent another in his post-fight interview. After dispatching Dan Hooker in dominant fashion, is Tsarukyan the guy that faces Topuria in his first title defense?<\/p>\n
Following Saturday\u2019s UFC Fight Night event in Doha, MMA Fighting\u2019s Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to the eventful card, Tsarukyan\u2019s incredible performance against Hooker, and if he should be next for Topuria over Paddy Pimblett. Additionally, they discuss Ian Machado Garry\u2019s decision win over Belal Muhammad in the co-main event and what the victory does in the Islam Makhachev conversation, the standout, bonus-winning performances from Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Kyoji Horiguchi, and much more.<\/p>\n
