Hooker named a timeline for his return and desired opponents

UFC lightweight Dan Hooker revealed when he plans to return to the octagon and who he wants to fight. Hooker named Beneil Dariush as his number one contender.

"If Beneil Dariush wants to fight me in June, I would love to face him. June-July, I'll blow his head off his shoulders, there's no doubt about that. Fighting Dariusz is a priority option for me, but he remains silent. If Beneil doesn't want it, I could fight Renato Moicano," Hooker told MMANews.

It's worth noting that Hooker is based at number eleven in the UFC's lightweight division. In his last fight, he won by split decision on judges over Jalin Turner.
