Hooker's big announcement about UFC 267

A big question for UFC and fans is what will happen in UFC 267. When the two best fighters will compete. First of all, let us tell you in detail that in UFC 267, Islam Makachieu was supposed to face Raphael, but due to Raphael's injury, he had to withdraw from the event.

The big question then was who would replace Raphael? But people were shocked when Hooker agreed to join the event. One of the main reasons is that he wants to make the most of his presence in the United States

On which Islam Makachev's manager Ali Abdul Aziz says that he is trying to cash check only on UFC 267. And he says he knows the only way to win is a lucky carton.

Dan Hooker defeated Nusrat Haqparast on September 25. And on a short notice of a few weeks, he agreed with Islam Makachiu and said that his next fight against Islam Makachiu could be the number one match. Hooker indicated that after defeating Islam, he could face Charles Oliveira or Dustin Poirier for the next UFC lightweight title, provided he defeats Makhachio.

If we look at the two fighters:

Dan Hooker's MMA record includes 21 wins and 10 losses, and Hooker also has an impressive resume. The Kiwis beat elite fighters such as El Iconta, Gilbert Burns, Jim Miller and Paul Fielder.

While Islam Makachiu has an almost perfect resume with 20 wins and only one defeat.

Makachiu is currently ranked No. 5 in the UFC. He has won notable victories over Drew Dober, Gleason Tabau and Thiago Moises.

People seem to be more interested in this fight than the Raphael dos Angos fight. And hopefully this will be the biggest fight of the year.

The question is, is he really doing all this to gain fame? Will it really be a threat to Islam?
