News Dan Hooker OUT vs Justin Gaethje UFC 313

Ilia gains absolutely nothing taking this fight

KOing Gaethje isn't anything special anymore, he's already vacated the title with the intention of fighting for the 2nd title, and he's already the wealthiest fighter in the UFC so he likely doesn't care about a big payday for taking the fight

Everything to lose and little to nothing to gain

Ilia is wealthier than Arman?

Poirier isn't taking the fight on under 3 weeks notice. Fans deserve better than that for a trilogy fight anyways. Fiziev is the best we can hope for if he's serious about taking it.

It's very short notice but it ticks a few boxes. The notable one being it's a 5 round co-main and he can avenge a loss. They'll probably give it to Jalin though since he's already on the card.

I think the UFC will put in a good effort to find a suitable replacement. Gaethje vs Hooker was going to be a great co-main for the card. Turner having lost 3 of his last 4 fights doesn't cut it as a co-main, he doesn't deserve to fight Gaethje & the fans deserve better.

Maybe try to get Dariush in there since his last fight got cancelled? It would be a big opportunity. There's not a whole lot to work with if Arman, Oliveira, Max, and Poirier won't take it.

This might offend some but Fiziev hasn't fought in 17 months and is on a 2 fight loss streak himself, one of those being to Gaethje.

Card is too weak to insert Dariush.

They need a fun fight, Moicano can talk on the mic. Or Dustin in name alone. Co-main in a PPV card against the #2 ranked guy is enough to work with IMO.

Yeah I like those options. Back up the brinks truck for Dustin to jump in there, and perhaps Moicano if he turns it down.
