Dan Hooker says Al Iaquinta is ‘not taking the fight,’ challenges Alexander Hernandez

Dan Hooker and Al Iaquinta have been going back-and-forth on social media, but Hooker insists Iaquinta does not want the smoke.

Enter Alexander Hernandez. Hooker is getting tired of Iaquinta’s supposed and has lightweight fight in mind.

“He keeps saying he wants it; I said that’s the fight to make,” Hooker told MMA Junkie. “If I’m lying, the fight would be booked already.” Hooker insists Iaquinta is “not taking the fight; I’ll fight [Alexander] Hernandez.”

Hooker bounced back phenomenally from a torturous third-round TKO loss to Edson Barboza back in December. He emphatically knocked out James Vick in under three minutes at UFC San Antonio on July 20.
