Makachev reckons no one wants to fight him, well now Hooker has stepped up and called him out.
Surprise surprise Makachev doesnt want a bar of it. Taking a leaf out of Chimaev’s book- only call out strikers ranked ahead of you or semi retired ex-champions so you can make a name for yourself humping their leg.
Hooker’s not wrong, I believe a fight with Tony doesn’t have much appeal. I figured Islam would end up fighting RDA, and that may be the case according to RDA

I just heard back from the UFC that Islam accepted to fight me Oct 30 5 rounds in Abu Dhabi and Khabib agreed to come out of retirement to avenge his brother’s loss after that. https://twitter.com/RdosAnjosMMA/status/1418008619556085760?s=20
I have no doubt Hooker turned down the Makhachev fight in the past for a more favorable matchup.
Of course Hooker wants the fight now that Makhachev is ranked #5 and Hooker just lost two in a row and does not want to have to fight down. Tough shit Hooker, go win a fight.
Why are you on a MMA board talking about “humping their leg”. You guys parrot that shit from Conor and its immature. Go watch kickboxing if you don’t like the grappling in MMA.
Why should he be retired when he just went 7-3 in his last ten in the UFC? Only been KOed once. Two of those wins were over guys who have challenged for titles. He is still just 31, could have a couple more good years in the UFC LW division.
He himself has said that if he lost the fight he would retire on the spot. He lost the fight, was about to retire and then, Hogan put him under his boob and said “it’s ok man, you don’t have to retire”. The man can’t keep his word. He will slip into legalized prostitution any day now. Forget who he was fighting, Dustin maybe.
