Islam Makhachev didn't get the chance to fight him. Ilia Topuria seemingly doesn't want to fight him. That can only mean one thing: Arman Tsarukyan needs to beat the snot out of Dan Hooker. He did just that at UFC Qatar. Arman Tsarukyan is a special talent and the hardest challenge for either Ilia Topuria or Islam Makhachev. He just needs to get the big fight. Ian Machado-Garry had a career best win over Belal Muhammad, the former welterweight champion, at UFC Qatar as well. Scoring a one sided decision, Ian Machado-Garry threw his name in the "Wants to fight Islam Makhachev" hat that includes Michael Morales, Shavkat Rakhmonov and others. Ian Machado-Garry may have the best case, however. He's got wins over Carlos Prates, another top five fighter, and now a former champion. Dagestan vs Ireland 2, anyone?Also returning to the UFC in Qatar, Kyoji Horiguchi is back. Nine years out of the promotion and now the Japanese sensation has returned, likely to the top ten. With Alexandre Pantoja running a second lap on the flyweight division, a new contender in Kyoji Horiguchi is completely welcome as a new threat.
