A fight between the two would definitely be a fan pleaser, as both men like to throw punches in bunches, which usually leads to an all-out war and post-fight bonuses. Case in point, in Hooker’s last fight against Dustin Poirier this past June, he and “The Diamond” put on a show for the ages. Despite coming up on the losing end, “The Hangman’s” stock blew way up, as did his bank account thanks to the extra $50K they both received.
Diaz, meanwhile, has not been seen inside the Octagon since losing to Jorge Masvidal at UFC 244 yearly a year ago. After the loss, he stated that he’d be going on yet another extended hiatus. And so far he has stuck true to his word.
