Dan Hooker lost badly in the main event of UFC Qatar and immediately set his next target in the lightweight division (up to 70,3 kg). If last Saturday (22), the New Zealander was easily finished by Arman Tsarukyan In the second round, he began to dream of a completely different outcome against... Renato Moicano.
So much so that Hooker issued an unusual challenge to the Brazilian and provoked him. Since Moicano is currently in a bad run of form, with two consecutive losses, 'The Hangman' mocked his skill. Interestingly, the New Zealander also made light of himself after being punished by Tsarukyan. In any case, the striker sees himself at an advantage against his long-time rival and wants to settle the score fighting at home.

“I spoke with Hunter and all I said was: ‘Moicano is terrible. Let me beat Moicano up.’ Let’s have an old men’s fight. I’d love to fight close to home, at the Sydney event in February. So, Moicano in Sydney. I think it would be a fun fight, we could have some fun together, do some trash talk. It would be a good fight. We’re both bad. Makhachev finished him off and Tsarukyan destroyed me. We’re both bad, but he’s worse. Moicano is terrible and I’d like to fight in Sydney,” said the veteran in an interview with the YouTube channel 'The MacLife'.
