LONDON – Dan Hooker is set for his first featherweight fight since November 2016 after making weight for his UFC Fight Night 204 co-headliner against Arnold Allen.
Hooker (21-11 MMA, 11-7 UFC), who had put together a strong run at lightweight over roughly five years, has opted to move back down in weight and will meet Arnold (17-1 MMA, 8-0 UFC) in Saturday’s co-main event at The 02. The entire card streams on ESPN+.
At official weigh-ins on Friday morning, Hooker stepped on the scale at 145 pounds. Allen, meanwhile, weighed in at 146 pounds.
