The UFC’s final PPV of 2020 has added a featherweight matchup.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that Chase Hooper and Peter Barrett are targeted to square off at UFC 256. The event takes place Dec. 12 at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
Hooper makes his third octagon appearance and looks to bounce back from his first pro loss in a fight against Alex Caceres at UFC 250 in May. “The Dream” earned a developmental contract on Dana White’s Contender Series in July 2018.
