New Zealand UFC lightweight fighter Dan Hooker said that the promotion's matchmakers are planning to organize his fight with former lightweight division champion Charles Oliveira.
Elbow quotes Hooker as saying:
Yeah, they want Charles, it's a good fight but I mean there's heaps of cool s*** I could do, the lay of the land is pretty crazy and it's such a wild sport so we'll see how it plays out.
Recall, on August 18 in Perth (Australia) in the framework of the tournament UFC 305 Hooker defeated Mateusz Gamrot by split decision. He has 24 wins and 12 losses on his record.
Oliveira last fought in April 2024 at UFC 300, losing to Arman Tsarukyan by split decision. He has 34 wins and ten losses on his record. One fight has been ruled a no contest.
