Here is who Dan Hooker and Michael Chandler picked to win Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier at UFC 257

Dustin Poirier has been calling for a scrap for some weeks now. He’s now taken to Twitter and hinted at a possible main event bout against Dan Hooker. The New Zealand fighter had stated that he would like to fight Poirier, if Justin Gaethje was not available.

“But if Gaethje is busy, then Poirier is the man,” Hooker said on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show. “Either Gaethje or Poirier, those are the only two options that make sense for me.”

Be careful what you wish for, as “The Diamond” has now responded to Dan Hooker on his official Twitter account.

“Can you see me now,” Hooker tweeted a cryptic message with a diamond emoji, which is Poirier’s nickname.

Dustin Poirier quickly responded, seemingly accepting the callout and hinting for a main event fight.

“I got 25 minutes for you,” Dustin Poirier said.

Dustin Poirier last fought against UFC Lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov for the title at UFC 242, suffering a 3rd-round submission. Prior to that, he won the interim Lightweight title after defeating Max Holloway by decision at UFC 236. “The Diamond” is currently No. 2 in the UFC Lightweight rankings.

The American Top Team fighter has racked up some notable wins over Eddie Alvarez, Justin Gaethje, Anthony Pettis, Diego Ferreira, and Jim Miller just to name a few.

Meanwhile, Dan Hooker is now ranked No. 5 at Lightweight after his narrow split-decision win over Paul Felder in the main event of UFC Auckland. The New Zealander is currently on a 3-fight win streak with a decision win over Al Iaquinta and a 1st-round knockout over James Vick.

Without a doubt Poirier vs. Hooker would be a great main event for any UFC card. The winner could easily become the next top contender at Lightweight or at least fight get a number one contenders bout next.
