UFC lightweight Charles Oliveira announced that Dan Hooker refused to fight him.

“To be honest, none of the top fighters agreed to fight me in Brazil. Ilia Topuria just beat me, he is number one. Arman is waiting for a title fight. Gaethje stated that he will only fight for the title. Max Holloway managed to break his arm. Dustin Poirier retired. Dan Hooker talks a lot, the drama with him has been going on for many years, but when he was called, he refused. In the end, only Fiziev agreed,” quotes Oliveira AgFight.
