Set to co-headline UFC 313 in two months, veteran lightweight mainstay, Dan Hooker has claimed he poses a really “dangerous” threat to former interim champion, Justin Gaethje — with the duo set to do battle over the course of five rounds in a potential title eliminator.
Hooker, the current number five ranked lightweight challenger, has been sidelined since August, most recently extending his winning run to three-fights with an impressive unanimous decision win over fellow top contender, Mateusz Gamrot.
Himself yet to return since last April, former interim champion, Gaethje dropped his symbolic BMF championship with a buzzer-beating fifth round knockout loss to former featherweight kingpin, Max Holloway on the main card of UFC 300.
