				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Arman Tsarukyan showed why he&#8217;s the top contender in the lightweight division in his one-sided win over  Dan Hooker in the UFC Qatar main event last weekend. He believed the second-round submission win would earn him a title shot, but the champion would rather fight someone else.  After winning the title by knocking out former champion  Charles Oliveira  at UFC 317, titleholder  Ilia Topuria called out  Paddy Pimblett . &#8220;The Baddy&#8221; was in attendance and entered the octagon and the two had a fiery exchange that ended with Topuria shoving Pimblett. </p>
