One of the best-kept secrets in the Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight division may not remain hidden much longer, at least if Claudio Puelles has any say-so in the matter.
The Peruvian prospect will take aim at spot in the Top 15 when he squares off with Dan Hooker in a featured UFC 281 attraction on Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York. Puelles climbs into the Octagon with the fuel of a five-fight winning streak in his tanks. A multi-faceted offensive threat, he has nailed down nine of his 12 career victories by knockout, technical knockout or submission.
