New Zealand UFC lightweight Dan Hooker stated that he does not understand the decision of the promotion to bring the former interim champions in his division into the octagon Dustin Poirier And Justin Gaethje.

The meeting of two Americans will headline the UFC 291 tournament, which will be held on July 29 in Salt Lake City. The winner will receive the so-called BMF title.

“I read this confrontation as stupid. I hope you understand what I mean. In the end, we are all fighting for a fee. And what is this title?

If I were offered to fight for this belt, then, of course, I would agree, because this is additional money, and this is the main goal. However, I still doubt that if I won this title, I would hang it on the wall and be proud of it. This is far from being a world champion belt. I would probably put it under the bed or hide it somewhere else, ”MMA Junkie quotes Hooker.
