UFC star Dan Hooker reunited with three-year-old daughter after months apart

Dan Hooker has returned to New Zealand after UFC London to reunite with his daughter for the first time this year.

Hooker relocated to Las Vegas last September to prepare for his fight against Nasrat Haqparast. Strict Covid-19 quarantine restrictions in New Zealand made it hard for Hooker to return home after fighting, so 'The Hangman' opted to stay in the US.

A lockdown in his home country meant Hooker didn't get his visa to travel to the US until days before his fight with Haqparast. After the hassle it took to travel, he stayed in Vegas to prepare for his short-notice fight with Islam Makhachev a month after winning a decision at UFC 266.
