Hooker is clearly aiming at number one spot for the lightweight championship

The toughest challenge for Dan Hooker will be this Saturday when the Hangman squares off against the Diamond Dustin Poirier in the main event of UFC Fight Night.

The Hangman is coming off a three fight win streak over Paul Felder, Al Iaquinta, and James Vick and he is aiming to finish the former interim lightweight champion to hit the number one spot for the lightweight championship.

Justin Gaethje, the newly crowned interim lightweight champion will face Khabib Nurmagomedov in a unifier bout for the undisputed lightweight championship this September and Dan Hooker is aiming to capture the title from the Unifier bout winner.

But, This only happens when Dan Hooker defeats Dustin Poirier to get the number one contender spot and for a note the Hangman is confident to take down the Diamond which may not be as easy as saying.

Khabib Nurmagomedov is the favourite one to win the Unifier bout. But, Dan Hooker thinks that Gaethje may surprise the world like last time when he defeated Tony Ferguson.

Justin Gaethje is on a self record setting track with four straight wins against the top names of industry like Tony Ferguson, Donald Cerrone, Edson Barboza, and James Vick and Dan Hooker's prediction may come true.

Dan Hooker said that he is highly interested in the Unifier bout. Dan Hooker predicts that Gaethje has high chances for winning the bout. Hooker explained that Gaethje's skill set could definitely put Khabib in trouble.

Hooker continued to explain that Gaethje’s incredibly strong defence could control Khabib Nurmagomedov's extreme offense. Hooker added that it would be one of the toughest challenges to Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Justin Gaethje, A former wrestler can really give Khabib Nurmagomedov a tough challenge. Gaethje's grappling skills and his timing sense may just overpower Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Also, lack of training by the Eagle in this global pandemic and his father's issue may just favour Gaethje professionally.

Dan Hooker also has an eye on the Unifier bout winner as mentioned earlier. Dan Hooker is confident to take down the Diamond and if it happens, Dan Hooker may probably be the number one contender for the lightweight championship.

Dan Hooker said that it sounds like a perfect way to cap off the year. Dan Hooker is confident to take down both Dustin Poirier and the winner of Unifier bout. Dan Hooker said that he will stay ready and sharp.

Dan Hooker stated that if he wins the fight via knockout, it would solidify his spot to the number one contender. Conor McGregor is retired and no way set to return for now, Tony Ferguson is nowhere seen on the screens after his loss to Justin Gaethje and this is the right opportunity for Dan Hooker to cash in.

What do you think about Dan Hooker‘s comments? Will he overpower Dustin Poirier and take down Justin Gaethje whom he thinks will win the fight?
