After making his way back into the top rankings in the lightweight division, Dan Hooker is looking to pick the right fight this time around.
“Hangman” admitted after this recent win over Mateusz Gamrot that the last time he was in this position, he made a mistake by agreeing to face Michael Chandler in less than ideal circumstances.
Now he’s wanting to secure the fight that will put him into title contention, unless of course, something bigger comes around.
Conor McGregor is without an opponent for his return now that Chandler will be facing Charles Oliveira at UFC 309, next month.
Hooker, who would be more than happy to be the Irishman’s dance partner, just so happens to be in the same place as him next week.
Dan Hooker Says He’s Hoping To See If Conor McGregor Wants The Fight When He’s In Spain
McGregor is sure to be in attendance at the BKFC show in Marbella, Spain on October 12, after becoming a part owner of the promotion earlier this year.
Hooker recently stated on an episode of Fox Sports’ mainevent that he will also be making the trip over.
The City Kickboxing fighter had previously said that he would be cornering his friend Oscar Willis from The Mac Life in his bare-knuckle debut on that card.
Considering that they’re likely to be in the same room, Hooker said that he may try to get a quick word in with the Irishman before heading back home.
“I know that I’ve got a big fight coming up next but I am actually heading over to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships in Spain next week which Conor McGregor so happens to own. So yeah, by the end of next week, hopefully get a chance to either just have a word to him and see if he’s interested in the fight.”
