Whilst it wouldn’t be the first time that Dan Hooker has prematurely announced a fight with Oliveira, albeit that last fake callout worked out decidedly well for ‘The Hangman’, it sounds like the Kiwi secured his next bout after a hilarious chat with Hunter Campbell.

Following his split decision win over Mateusz Gamrot in Perth, lightweight veteran Dan Hooker was able to have a short discussion with UFC matchmaker extraordinaire Hunter Campbell – with the New Zealander revealing the result of that chat on the latest episode of Pub Talk.

Dan Hooker reveals backstage chat with UFC ends in Charles Oliveira

If you find yourself with a spare 20 minutes at some point this week, you should watch the highly entertaining new episode of The Mac Life’s Pub Talk series with Oscar Willis and fan favorite Dan Hooker.

At one point in the conversation, Willis revealed that after a few post-305 celebratory drinks, they ended up running into UFC CBO Hunter Campbell in the fighter hotel lobby, with the New Zealander quick to start trying to secure his next opponent.

“He goes ‘Who do you want to fight next?’ and I go ‘I’ll smash any of the dogs, give me every last one of the dogs!’” laughed Hooker, noting how “My manager Ash was there as well and he’s just like ‘How about I do the matchmaking brother?’”

Well, according to both Willis and Hooker, the UFC matchmaker was seemingly convinced to set up former champion Charles Oliveira next for ‘The Hangman’ – although the Kiwi also stated that he’d tried to convince Campbell to give him Arman Tsarukyan as well.

“Yeah, they want Charles, it’s a good fight but I mean there’s heaps of cool s*** I could do, the lay of the land is pretty crazy and it’s such a wild sport so we’ll see how it plays out.

“I couldn’t care less, [I want to fight] all of them bro – even Arman bro. I said to Hunter that I’d like to fight Arman because screw it, we’ll go the toughest route to the title that I possibly can; Turner, Gamrot, Arman, Islam – I just don’t care brother.”

Following the seemingly intoxicated, yet hilariously on-point chat with Hunter Campbell, Hooker’s manager reportedly told both men that the Oliveira fight had been ‘locked in’ behind the scenes.

65, of Johnston, passed away suddenly at his home on Sunday, July 21, 2024. He was the loving husband of Pamela (Mosesian) Oliveira for 32 years. Born in Sao Miguel, Portugal, he was the son of Lorena (Costa) Oliveira of Somerset, MA, and the late Joao Oliveria. He was a Manufacturing Associate, most recently working for Moderna.

Charlie had a wide range of interests and hobbies that brought him joy. From listening to music to indulging in his passion for golf and cheering on New England sports teams, he lived life to the fullest. He was known in the neighborhood for being handy always lending a helping hand. However, above all accomplishments and hobbies, Charlie treasured the roles of husband and father. His proudest achievements revolved around the love and care he provided to his family.

Charlie was the devoted father of Joshua Oliveira and his wife Laura Lansing of Mansfield, MA, and Jordan Oliveira and his girlfriend Silvana Porreca of Johnston. Brother of John Oliveira and his wife Sharon of Westport, MA, Joe Oliveira and his wife Lillan of Mary Esther, FL, and Maria Saraiva of Fall River, MA. Charlie was loved by his nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
