Renato Moicano on Dan Hooker callout: We suck, but 'he's way worse'

Renato Moicano is playing along with Dan Hooker.

After getting submitted by Arman Tsarukyan at UFC Fight Night 265 this past Saturday in Qatar, Hooker (24-13 MMA, 14-9 UFC) came to a realization. He turned his attention to Moicano in humorous fashion, claiming that a fight between them makes sense because they both "suck."

Moicano (20-7-1 MMA, 12-7 UFC) agrees but thinks he possesses a way bigger threat.

"That was a funny callout," Moicano said on "The Ariel Helwani Show." "That is something I would do if I was in his place. I would say the same thing about Dan Hooker. I think he doesn't deserve to be in the top five, in the top six. And he's right: I f*cking suck, he sucks, but the only thing that he's missing is that he's way, way worse than me. No ground game, doesn't have knockout power, doesn't have wrestling."

Although he's on board with fighting Hooker, Moicano explained why he doesn't see the fight happening.

"Unfortunately for both of us, the UFC is not going to do this matchup," Moicano continued. "I think the fans would love to watch me and Dan Hooker fight, but I don't think UFC is is making that fight. Because let's be honest: We're both old, and they probably want to feed us to young contenders, prospects, to get in the rankings.

"Right now, Dan Hooker is the easiest way to get to the top of the rankings, and I am No. 10, too. So, I don't think they would do that. I think what they will do is BSD (Saint-Denis) against Hooker. I think that's the move."
