Dan Hooker accepts Nate Diaz’ apparent fight interest with: “So 55 or 70?”

If Nate Diaz really wants to fight, then Dan Hooker is willing and ready to meet him at whatever weight he wants.

Does Nate Diaz want to fight Dan Hooker?

There certainly appears to be some interest.

Recently, the Stockton star made a public case for a rematch with Jorge Masvidal, only for UFC president Dana White to reveal the promotion were instead eyeing a bout between the ‘BMF’ belt holder and former friend Colby Covington.

Shortly thereafter, Diaz uploaded a clip of Dan Hooker defeating current welterweight contender Gilbert Burns without any context… until a response to Hooker’s teammate Israel Adesanya gave an insight into Diaz’ mindset.

Now, while it might not have been as clear a callout as Diaz has made in the past, Hooker wants it to be known he’s willing and ready should the fight be genuinely on the table with a brief but effective tweet to Diaz saying, “So 55 or 70?”
