Dan Hooker won a split decision over Paul Felder in a fun technical brawl to close out UFC Fight Night 168 from Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand.
The major development in the first round was damage to Felder's eye. In the midst of an intriguing firefight in the first frame, Hooker caused Felder's eye to swell, and the issue would plague The Irish Dragon for the rest of the bout.
The second round continued the fun kickboxing theme. The damage to Felder's eye didn't keep him from letting loose and aggressively looking to close the distance, but Hooker was able to catch Felder coming in several times as the two made the judges' job difficult.
