Hooker recently appeared on the interview on Submission Radio, where he discussed many things, he talked about Islam Makhachev accusing him of dodging the fight with him, he said his name never came across his desk and he would never duck a fight against anyone.

He also called out Beneil Dariush in the most sarcastic way possible, “I feel like Beneil is like the ugly girl at the dance,” Hooker jokingly said. “I don’t mean that in like an offensive way I mean that as like skill for skill, I feel like he’s the most skillful guy in the division. I feel like he’s one of the most well-rounded guys but he doesn’t have the name recognition that some of the other guys in the top five have.”

Dariush is riding on a seven-fight win streak with his most recent victory against the former interim champion Tony Ferguson, and honestly, this could be a really interesting fight.

Hooker appreciated Beneil’s performance against Tony, and since he’s looking to get back on the win column himself a win over Dariush can push him way above in the rankings.

He said, “I would love that fight, I know he’s on an incredible win streak at the moment but I would love the opportunity to get in there and test myself against Beneil. Even though he jumped up so high in the rankings, I don’t see a single person calling out Beneil Dariush. So, I would put my hand up for that fight if he’s ready to go in a couple months.”
