Dan Hooker Trashes Tsarukyan

Tsarukyan has always rubbed people up the wrong way in particular with his “rich kid” lifestyle flaunted a lot on social media. Speaking to Submission Radio, Hooker had plenty to say about his upcoming main event in Doha, Qatar later this year.

“There is a lot of animosity there… I don’t like his face, I don’t like that his face is attached to his body and I would love to separate the two. I don’t like the bloke, I don’t know anything about him, but I hate everything he stands for…. can’t wait to elbow him in the nose”

Hooker went on to preview what issues could well unfold in fight week, “If he comes in a rms range with me, like, I’m going to hit him. That’s the long and short of it and the fights going to be off, like I don’t care about that.” If this was the case and the fight was off the co-main is luckily good enough to headline as top welterweights Belal Muhammed and Ian Machado Garry face off.

The violent contender continued to dig Tsarukyan out saying “I fight because it’s in my blood. I fight, I fight, I fight because it’s just what I love to do. No, I fight because I love to fight. We fight for very different reasons. He fights to be cool, get attention, get likes on Instagram.” Quotes via Submission Radio YouTube channel.
