Dan Hooker has a habit of facing fighters at the apex of their careers. With the exception of Dustin Poirier, who was fresh off his title fight loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov, every opponent Hooker has faced in the last three years has been coming off at least two wins. In fact, each of the ‘Hangman’’s last three opponents—Claudio Puelles, Arnold Allen, and Islam Makhachev—were running years long winning streaks when they faced off against the City Kickboxing talent.
That makes news of Hooker’s latest fight booking something like business as usual. In an interview with The Mac Life, the 32-year-old announced his next bout, against #10 ranked lightweight Jalin Turner on March 4th.
