NEW YORK – Dan Hooker just fought, and he’s already got a date in mind for his return.
The UFC lightweight is targeting a fight at UFC 284, which is set to go down in Perth, Australia, on Feb. 11. The request to the UFC comes after his TKO win over Claudio Puelles on the main card of Saturday’s UFC 281.
“I feel like I deserve to fight on the first card back down my way,” Hooker told reporters at the UFC 281 post-fight press conference. “I feel like I’ve done enough to earn a spot on that card. I said (I’ll fight) absolutely anyone that wants to come down there and fight on that date. It’ll be good to train with my training partner, Alexander Volkanovski, for that date, for that card. So any man for that date.”
