Dustin Poirier Fires Back at Dan Hooker’s Call Out

Dustin Poirier recently took the time to respond to Dan Hooker’s call out for a rematch. The tone suggests that El Diamante wants Hooker to reconsider his proposition. Both individuals last locked horns in 2020 for a 5-round clash; Dustin was successful in claiming a comprehensive unanimous decision win.

Dan has been unusually vocal about getting an opportunity to fight someone from the top 5-10.

He fired shots at many individuals – Conor McGregor being one of them. The win against Mateusz Gamrot really seems to have boosted his confidence. It will be interesting to see who the UFC matches him up against next.

Who you trying to fool.

DP vs Dan Hooker's fight in 2020

Both fighters performed exceptionally well but the diamond quite evidently had an edge. A rematch could be a thrilling spectacle but is that the best choice for Dustin's final fight? Highly debatable.
