Dan Hooker is making waves in the UFC lightweight division by securing his third straight win in a split decision victory against Mateusz Gamrot at UFC 305. The fighter from New Zealand, also known as the “Hangman,” has now risen to fifth place in the division and has set his sights on a possible showdown with former champion Charles Oliveira. With Conor McGregor’s return to the octagon looming, Hooker believes that a fight with Michael Chandler would be more advantageous for McGregor. It’s worth noting that Chandler faced Hooker in his UFC debut in January 2021, coming out victorious.
While the chance to fight McGregor or Oliveira is on the horizon, Hooker is primarily focused on earning a title shot in his next bout. He is ready to face any challenge that comes his way, including a potential match against McGregor. The future will reveal Hooker’s next opponent, but his concentration remains fixed on his ultimate goal of contending for a championship.
