Dan Hooker sent tremors through the Ultimate Fighting Championship ranks with some concussive shin-to-skull contact.
“The Hangman” swiped aside former Shooto and Sengoku champion Hatsu Hioki with a head kick and follow-up punches in the second round of their featured UFC Fight Night 65 prelim on May 10, 2015 at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre in Adelaide, Australia. Stopped by strikes for the first time in his career, Hioki succumbed to blows 4:13 into Round 2.
The Japanese star buckled Hooker with a right hand in the first round, executed a takedown and climbed to full mount.
