Dan Hooker was fired up after the biggest win of his career Saturday night at UFC 243.
“The Hangman” dominated Al Iaquinta en route to a unanimous decision win in Melbourne, Australia. After the win, which improved Hooker’s winning streak to two in a row, Hooker called out recent lightweight title challenger Dustin Poirier.
“I’m gonna announce my next fight,” Hooker said at the beginning of his post-fight interview. “Dustin Poirier, I’m going to smash your face in. Meet me in New Zealand, 2020. I’m gonna end you.”
Poirier, who is coming off a submission loss to champ Khabib Nurmagomedov last month at UFC 242, quickly responded to Hooker via social media.
