Dan Hooker doesn’t see many lightweights calling for a fight with top contender Beneil Dariush, which is why ‘The Hangman’ wants a fight with him.
Hooker hasn’t fought since being knocked out by Michael Chandler at UFC 257 in January. Dariush finds himself on the other end of the spectrum, being undefeated in seven fights and recently picking up a win against former champion Tony Ferguson.
Talking recently with Submission Radio, Hooker discussed his desire to fight Dariush when he returns to the octagon.
“I feel like Beneil is like the ugly girl at the dance,” Hooker jokingly said.
