Arman Tsarukyan Climbs Lightweight Rankings After Dominant Victory<\/h2>\n\nThe fighter Arman Tsarukyan proved his worth in the lightweight division by submitting Dan Hooker in the main event of UFC Fight Night held in Doha, Qatar. This victory was crucial for Tsarukyan, who had not competed in over a year and a half.\n\nWith this triumph, Tsarukyan regains a prominent place in the division’s ranking, rising to second place. His previous inactivity had excluded him from the classification, but his performance allowed him to return strongly.\n\nRegarding other changes in the rankings, Ian Machado Garry advanced to fourth place in welterweight after his victory over Belal Muhammad, who now occupies the sixth position.\n\n\n
