After violent performance in UFC Las Vegas 88, Thiago Moses used the microphone to express his desire to face Dan Hooker Next. Irritated by the New Zealander's position in the lightweight rankings (up to 70,3kg), the Brazilian took advantage of the press conference after the fight and reinforced his interest in measuring up against the veteran, who is currently ranked ninth.
“I think it would be a great fight. He trains with Brad Riddel, I was scheduled to fight Riddel. It would be great if he could replace Riddel. I don't understand why he is so high in the rankings. He doesn’t fight often, he loses some fights, he picks his fights,” Moisés said.

Continuing his speech, Thiago defended his merits in getting a duel against the athlete.
“I’ll fight anyone. Anyone they put in front of me I fight. I've never said 'no' to anyone. I think it would be a great fight and could even be a main fight in a 'Fight Night'. I would finish it. June would be ideal, in Las Vegas.
