Who should Dan Hooker fight next?

[Kaiokenrye24]

I was bummed that he won't get the matchup with Paul Felder, but Felder deserved a big time opponent after losing his fight with Al Iaquinta. I was hoping Dan Hooker would fight OAM but he's fighting Alexander Hernandez.
I would like to see Dan Hooker fight someone like Trinaldo or Maibrek Taisumov or even Justin Gaethje
Thoughts?

Someone top 15... 155 is pretty stacked with opponents. Just get on social media and call out a name.

 

[gatorbear]

dude is very skilled he should get it on with a topish guy

 

[BTard]

Somebody with the last name John. I wanna hear the commentator referring to Hooker vs John all night.
And Hooker drops John with an uppercut, but now John is on top of Hooker dropping elbows.

Hooker is a bad match up for a lot of people. Not many guys ahead of him would be willing to take that fight. And I´m with you, TS, Felder is a clear example, in front of the cameras it was one thing, but in the backstage, things work differently.

On a different note, Felder vs Vick is a great match up too.

possibly dairush or mairbek. I know LAtimes reported that dairush would be on 227 and that fits with hangman's time frame. he definitely deserves a top 20 opponent- the upper fringe of the top 15 seems mostly booked at this point

 

[Miq]

Alex Hernandez

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Gregor Gillespie if he wins, if not Francisco Trinaldo.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

Juila Roberts?

They gotta give Dariush a lower level guy to give him some confidence. Hes been smashed the last couple times.

Maybe the Teymur/Lentz winner, Islam Makhaev, Carlos Ferreira or the Gillespie/Pic help winner.

I don't think Hooker done enough to get a top 10 guy yet.

 

[waldywaldy]

Rustam Khabilov?

 

[VanMMA]

Let's see him fight Francisco Trinaldo.

 

[Joseph_McBride]

Taisumov on the Singapore or Germany card iMo.

Crazy how many really good 155ers that aren't ranked:

Taisumov
Hooker
Teymur
Gillespie
Khabilov
Machechev
Trinaldo
Dariush

Amd I'm probably forgetting a few

 

[drbolony]

Hopefully Barboza. Barboza's been known to take on lower ranked opponent, plus he might want to fight a striker.

 

[MrCoffee]

An actual hooker.

 

[fortheo]

Rustam Khabilov?

Came to say this. Winner should get a ranked opponent.

 

[SaigeVanZant]

Taisumov somewhere in Europe

 

[FloydMayweatherMMA]

Isn't he booked to face Hernandez next?

 

[Horriblehim]

Forget Dan Hooker, when's Daniel "dad bod" Kelly gonna fight again?
