Without acting since July, Dan Hooker is willing to make up for his time away from the octagon. With two consecutive victories, the New Zealander, number 11 in the lightweight (70 kg) ranking of the UFC, aims to continue his good career momentum and puts two athletes on his radar. In fact, the athlete did not spare a Brazilian.
In an interview with the YouTube channel ‘All Star’Hooker opened the doors to face Beneil Dariush or Renato Moicano. As was provoked by the Brazilian, ‘The Hangman’ got back at him.
Recently, ‘Moicano’ mentioned the New Zealander as a potential opponent, challenged his grappling skill level and stated that he would win by submission. Irritated, the striker intensified the rivalry by remembering that his rival was almost knocked out in his most recent fights and was not impressed with his three consecutive victories.
“Dariush would be my top pick, but he’s been very quiet. If he doesn’t want to, Moicano calling me easy money, you’re the easiest money I’ve ever seen in my life, you chinless idiot. He was injured at the beginning of the fight. I don’t think he’ll be ready to fight. Maybe he needs to be woken up, even though he has control in the grappling. He said I can’t do grappling, this and that. I’m not Dober and Turner. This is ridiculous (being called easy money). For this insult, you can’t refuse a fight in June. I will punch him in the head and rip it off his shoulders”, declared the athlete.
Dan Hooker, 34, is a friend of Israel Adesanya and a long-time member of the top-15 lightweight division in the world. UFC. Currently, the New Zealander is 11th in the category ranking.
