UFC fighter Dan Hooker has fired back at Justin Gaethje. Justin said on twitter that he’s confident Dustin will win and will ‘merk’ Hooker.
These comments were not received well by Hooker. Dan revealed that Gaethje wants Poirier to win as he was knocked out by ‘The Diamond’ back in 2018.
However, since that fight, Gaethje has been on a 4 fight win streak. Gaethje was last seen in action against Tony Ferguson in what was one of the greatest fights the UFC has witnessed.

“ Yeah if someone knocks you out, you want to see them do well and succeed as it makes you look better.
“If I knock Dustin Poirier out, it kinda makes Justin Gaethje look like a bum so I guess he doesn’t want that. I think it’s a 50-50 fight for me and Poirier. There’s an equal chance that he knocks me out or I knock him out. I’m prepared for that kind of fight” said Hooker on Submission radio
Despite coming in as an underdog, Hooker can cause Poirier lots of problems during the fight. Hooker was involved in an all-out war against Paul Felder back in February.
