Hooker is ready to fight McGregor instead of Chandler.

Lightweight Dan Hooker has announced his willingness to fight Conor McGregor instead of Michael Chandler.

"He's been left without a fight. I know Conor is hungry for a fight, he wants a fight that he can get something out of and that makes sense. That's why Chandler, who chose a wait-and-see stance instead of staying active, ended up not getting that fight. What would Conor gain from a win over Chandler? Even if he knocks him out in the first round, he's not going to be in the top five after a performance like that. A fight with me makes a lot more sense for Conor."
