Hooker, the current number nine ranked lightweight contender, was slated to co-headline UFC Austin on December 2. in Texas against the aforenoted San Bernardino native, Green, until an injured arm, which he fractured in his split decision win over Jalin Turner back in March of this year at UFC 285 forced his exit.
