Betting Odds

The UFC heads to Qatar for the first time on November 22, 2025, with an exciting lightweight matchup between Arman Tsarukyan and Dan Hooker as the main event. Tsarukyan opened as a heavy favorite across the board, and the odds have continued to move in his favor as fight week progresses.

Betway lists Tsarukyan at -549 with Hooker at +400. This represents significant movement toward the favorite. Others have showed Tsarukyan at -480 against Hooker’s +330. These numbers paint a clear picture of where the market stands heading into the weekend.​

For a finish at Betway, Tsarukyan winning by TKO or KO sits at +150, while Hooker scoring a knockout pays +700. Submission betting shows similar disparities, with Tsarukyan’s submission listed at +350 and Hooker’s at +1400. For those betting on a decision, Tsarukyan by decision is -225, while Hooker by decision reaches +600.​

Round-specific wagers show the books expect action early if Tsarukyan wins. Tsarukyan in round one pays +400, round two is at +550, while Hooker winning in round one reaches +1400. These props suggest bookmakers anticipate the favorite could score early, though Hooker’s counter-striking remains dangerous whenever he enters the octagon.​

When odds first opened, sportsbooks had Tsarukyan at around -500 with Hooker at +375. These initial lines reflected Tsarukyan’s ranking advantage and recent form, as he sits at number two in the lightweight division following his split decision victory over former champion Charles Oliveira at UFC 300 in April 2024. 

By mid-week, the favorite’s price had shifted considerably. Some sportsbooks posted Tsarukyan at -340 with Hooker at +270, showing initial tightening. However, the most recent odds available show Tsarukyan at -480 to -600 depending on the book, with some sportsbooks going as high as -549 at Betway.​

The movement has been steady and directional, with Tsarukyan’s line consistently moving toward longer minus figures as bettors and sharp money backed the favorite. This pattern suggests confidence in Tsarukyan’s superior wrestling and striking advantages over the Kiwi veteran.

Arman Tsarukyan is a heavy favorite because he’s ranked highly in the lightweight division with impressive grappling credentials compared to Dan Hooker. Bettors see his wrestling-heavy approach likely exploits Hooker’s documented vulnerability against elite grapplers.

This main event serves as the flagship fight for the UFC’s inaugural event in Qatar, featuring two fighters with contrasting styles and career trajectories. Tsarukyan aims to solidify his status as a title contender, while Hooker seeks a signature victory to catapult himself toward the championship conversation in what should be an entertaining five-round battle.
