Dan Hooker and Dustin Poirier went to war last weekend at UFC on ESPN 12 in what is widely being regarded as one of the best fights of the year. Although Dan Hooker lost to Poirier at the end of the five rounds, his stock certainly didn’t fall one bit because of the thoroughly entertaining contest he was a part of.

Tony Ferguson is on Dan Hooker’s radar

Speaking to Submission Radio recently, Dan Hooker spoke about his plans for the future. The New Zealand native said that he’s looking for a fight against either Ferguson or Oliveira up next as he looks to work his way to the top of a heavily stacked lightweight division (via MMAjunkie.com).

If he had to pick between Oliveira and Ferguson, Dan Hooker would pick the latter because Tony is a big name and beating him would solidify Hooker’s place in the top five of the 155lbs division. However, what’s most important for Hooker at the moment is to remain active and that’s exactly what he plans on doing.
