‘The Hangman’ is currently scheduled to fight Nasrat Haqparast at the upcoming UFC 266 pay-per-view on September 25.
If Hooker beats Haqparast, Arman Tsarukyan is happy to wait until the Kiwi is ready to fight again. However, if ‘The Hangman’ loses, Tsarukyan wishes to face Tony Ferguson instead.
Watch the press conference below:
Does Arman Tsarukyan vs. Tony Ferguson make sense?
Arman Tsarukyan and Tony Ferguson are at different stages of their respective UFC careers.
‘El Cucuy’ has suffered a catastrophic dip in form since his loss to Justin Gaethje at UFC 249. After a 12-fight winning streak, Ferguson has now lost his last three fights. None of the contests were close. ‘El Cucuy’ was comprehensively beaten by Gaethje, Charles Oliveira and Beneil Dariush.
Meanwhile, Tsarukyan is on the rise. He is likely to break into the top 10 of the lightweight division with a few more wins. The 24-year-old has now won four out of his last five fights inside the octagon. A victory against Tony Ferguson could boost his rise to the division’s upper echelons.
