‘The Hangman’ is back at 145.
The UFC announced on Monday that veteran lightweight contender Dan Hooker’s return to featherweight will happen at UFC London against the #7 ranked Arnold Allen.
Hooker (21-11) has found his best success at lightweight, where he beat James Vick, Paul Felder, and Al Iaquinta. The New Zealand native has lost three out of his last four, albeit against elite fighters such as Dustin Poirier, Michael Chandler, and most recently Islam Makhachev. Hooker began his UFC career as a featherweight, alternating wins and losses on his way to a 3-3 record before making the move back up to 155.
