Dan Hooker, who’s trained extensively with Israel Adesanya, at City Kickboxing in Auckland, New Zealand, says that his friend is misunderstood. While some fans aren’t too fond of ‘The Last Style Bender’, his countryman is adamant that the former UFC middleweight champion is a lovely character. Whereas, he himself, isn’t quite so kind.
Dan ‘The Hangman’ Hooker has gone under the knife for the injury that forced him out of his UFC 313 co-main event fight against Justin Gaethje.
Yesterday morning, Dan Hooker and Justin Gaethje’s highly-anticipated showdown was cancelled when Hooker suffered a gruesome hand injury during sparring. There is now major speculation, with Gaethje noting that he will still be fighting on the card.
