Dan Hooker accepted Michael Chandler fight for ‘chance at winning the McGregor roulette’

Dan Hooker is hoping a win over Michael Chandler at UFC 257 will earn him a ‘red panty night’ against none other than Mr. Red Panty himself, Conor McGregor.

Hooker, who is expected to face Chandler in the UFC 257 co-main event, admitted a big part of the reason he accepted the matchup is for ‘a chance at winning the McGregor roulette’.

“I’d be lying if I’m saying that’s not a big reason why I jumped at the opportunity to not only fight Michael Chandler, but to be on this card and to have that possibility… that’s the McGregor roulette, baby,” Hooker told SCMP in a recent interview (h/t Abhinav Kini of The Body Lock).
