For someone who traveled halfway around the world, Dan Hooker sure seemed in a rush to finish his work on Saturday night.
The Auckland, New Zealand native came all the way out to Jim Miller’s New Jersey backyard and made a statement, using perfectly placed knee to the head to score a knockout victory in a lightweight bout at UFC Atlantic City. The time of the bout was 3:00 of the opening round.
The durable Miller, who was fighting a record-tying (along with Michael Bisping) 29th time in the UFC, had his moments in the bout, showing dogged tenacity to finish a single-leg takedown.
