Dan Hooker believes the BMF title makes Dustin Poirier vs. Justin Gaethje a "silly fight"

UFC lightweight contenders Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje are set to face off against each other for the BMF belt that was previously held by Jorge Masvidal.

Dan Hooker spoke on teammate Israel Adesanya's YouTube channel and weighed in on the belt's value. He stated that he would fight for the belt only for the commercial perks involved but does not rate the belt as significantly as a world title.

'The Hangman' said:

“That’s why it’s a little bit of a silly fight, you know what I mean? We’re prizefighters at the end of the day. Nah. What does it actually mean though? Of course I’d take it because there’s money that comes with it, which is the main objective of doing it. But having a BMF title and hanging that on my wall and being proud of that is not the same as a world title. I’d probably put it under the bed or something like that.”
