Video: UFC lightweight contender Dan Hooker has successful test cut to featherweight
Dan Hooker at the UFC 267 ceremonial weigh-ins in October.The last 16 months haven’t been kind to Dan Hooker. The 31-year-old Kiwi had only won one of his last four fights. The losses were from a brutal five-rounder against Dustin Poirier, a quick KO courtesy of Michael Chandler, and a likewise rapid finish via submission at the hands of Islam Makhachev just last month.
This recent string of losses has urged “The Hangman” to re-evaluate his career. Recently, he broached the idea of a possible move back down to 145 pounds where he began his UFC run in 2014.
