Dan Hooker in danger of losing spot on UFC 266, goes public with travel visa request

It looks like at least one bout on next week’s UFC 266 fight card is in real danger of getting canceled. Top ranked lightweight Dan Hooker is set to take on rising prospect Nasrat Haqparast on the prelims portion of the event. The fight seems primed to be an all-action war, but that’s only if the two men actually make it to the event.

And in Hooker’s case, the likelihood of that is hanging by a thread. The ‘Hangman’ recently took to social media to make a public plea with the US Embassy in New Zealand, in a last ditch attempt to speed up his visa process.
