LAS VEGAS – Chase Hooper isn’t trying to go after the oldest names in the lightweight division, but it could be the way the stars align after UFC 310.
Hooper (15-3-1 MMA, 7-3 UFC) improved to 4-0 since moving up to 155 pounds from featherweight on Saturday when he submitted Clay Guida with an armbar in the opening round of their fight at T-Mobile Arena.
The matchup between Hooper, 25, and Guida, 43, marked the largest age disparity between opponents in modern UFC history, and the younger fighter got it done.
