One of the most anticipated fights on UFC 285 is canceled.
First reported by Mike Heck of MMA Fighting, Dan Hooker has withdrawn from his fight against Jalin Turner after suffering a broken hand in training. The ‘Hangman’ confirmed the report with a photo of his hand in a cast.
“Well f—k,” tweeted Hooker.
Hooker returned to the win column with a second-round TKO of Claudio Puelles at UFC 281 this past November. Prior to that, the City Kickboxing product struggled, going 1-4 in five fights. However, his losses came against top competition, including Dustin Poirier, Michael Chandler and reigning UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev.
