Tony Ferguson is called out by Dan Hooker
Tony Ferguson has recently been called out by No. 13 ranked Dan Hooker who seemed eager to compete in the lightweight division again. “The Hangman” is looking to fight the former interim champion at UFC 281 in November.
“Only one can continue, only one can keep going forward. But that’s a big fight, Tony’s a big fight. A win for either one of us puts the other one right back in the mix, right? And that’s where you want to be,” Hooker recently said in an interview with Submission Radio.
