Hooker and Gaethje are due to clash in the co-main event of UFC 313 on 8 March, in what many fans feel is a dream contest – a potential fight of the year contender.
Dan Hooker has suggested his fight with Justin Gaethje has been shortened from five rounds to three at the latter’s request.
But that’s why I want to fight Justin Gaethje: I want the perks that come with being one of the stars of the division.
“I want what he’s got, I want the perks, I want to tell the other guy when to jump, and to tell the other guy when I feel like fighting.
Hooker, 35, and Gaethje, 36, are widely regarded as two of the most entertaining fighters in the UFC.
