Despite welcoming the chance to fight former two-weight champion, Conor McGregor next, Dan Hooker has claimed a bout must come in either January of March — with his partner expecting the birth of their second child sometime in February, for which the Kiwi assured he would not miss.
Hooker, the current number five ranked lightweight contender, turned in his third consecutive victory at UFC 305 back in August, landing a main card split decision success against fellow contender, Mateusz Gamrot — adding to a slew of successes over both Jalin Turner, and Peruvian grappler, Claudio Puelles.
