[Franklin U.]

This is a good call out for hooker - I like match up and I'll call it an almost coin flip fight.

You just became sherdog famous

That post shall live on in infamy

I’ve been a part of so many epic Sherdog moments over the years!

Hooker is the dark force of the lightweight division, I got him winning this fight.

 

[BRaVo cHoKe]

Great Fight. I'm pretty big on Hooker right now, but this is a tough fight to pick.

 

[RonniePickering]

Cool fight. I'll take iaquinta comfortably. Always bet on real Brooklyn gangsta

 

[KantoTerror]

Genius...people say sherdog is a cesspool of dumb fucks...it's the contrary...

 

[KantoTerror]

Wouldn't say no if this guy selling me a house...

 

[RonniePickering]

[Kaiokenrye24]

I remember when Dan called out Paul Felder to his face, he’s a great interview and I hope he gets his shot

 

[HaulParris]

Also, I like Hooker in this one

Most real Brooklyn gangsters sell real estate. Learn your stuff, young gun

 

[Huligani]

I think Iaquinta has hit his skill ceiling and Hooker for sure hasn't. I predict it'd be a close fight.

Breaking! UFC 243 adds a key lightweight bout between perennial division contenders Al Iaquinta and Dan Hooker

October’s UFC 243 event in Melbourne, Australia continues to take shape with the addition of a key lightweight bout between Al Iaquinta and Dan Hooker.

ESPN's Ariel Helwani was first to report news of the matchup, stating that both sides have verbally agreed to the fight.

UFC 243 takes place October 5 live from Marvel Stadium in beautiful Melbourne, Australia.

Al Iaquinta (14-5-1 MMA) will return to the Octagon for the first time since suffering a unanimous decision loss to Donald ‘Cowboy‘ Cerrone in the headliner of May’s UFC Fight Night event in Ottawa.

‘Raging Al’ has gone 6-2 over his past eight fights, scoring wins over Ross Pearson, Joe Lauzon, Jorge Masvidal, Diego Sanchez and Kevin Lee during that stretch.

Meanwhile, Dan Hooker (18-8 MMA) will enter UFC 243 looking to build off the momentum of his recent knockout victory over James Vick. ‘The Hangman’ has gone 5-1 over his past six Octagon appearances, with his lone loss in that time coming to Edson Barboza via third round TKO.
