In a night filled with big finishes, Dan Hooker added another highlight to his resume with one of the nastiest knockouts in recent memory as he put away Ross Pearson in the second round in their lightweight matchup in New Zealand.
Hooker came into the fight off a loss in his last performance so he undoubtedly wanted to put an exclamation point on Saturday night while fighting close to his home in Australia.
It didn’t take Hooker long to use his reach and length to pop Pearson in the face with a series of jabs and stinging leg kicks that tagged the former “Ultimate Fighter” winner throughout the first round.
