Beneil Dariush answers Dan Hooker’s UFC 305 callout
During a recent interview with Helen Yee, Dariush addressed Hooker’s latest callout for UFC 305 in Perth.
“Maybe, I have a lot going on, a lot on my plate right now. But if I can get it all figured out,” Dariush said. “I feel bad because this guy’s been calling me out for so long, and normally I just say yes to people, and he’s the one guy I can never seem to schedule and get the right schedule with. Maybe we end up doing it in Australia, I love Australia, except for the fact they’re gonna tax me like no other. Maybe we do it in Vegas or somewhere else where we don’t get taxed like Abu Dhabi or something, we’ll figure it out.”
Dariush and Hooker are both looking to get back in the mix in the lightweight title picture. UFC 305 is expected to be headlined by the return of UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis against Israel Adesanya, although nothing has been formally announced.
Dariush seems keen on accepting Hooker’s fight callout, although it might not come in the timeframe that Hooker desires. A fight announcement for both men could materialize in the coming weeks.
