While he may not always get his name in the win column every single time he goes out to fight, nobody can deny that Dan Hooker is one of the most exciting guys to watch in the UFC.

Whether it’s the first round or the fifth, he always gives everything he’s got in the name of entertaining the fans.

However, with three defeats in his last four at 155 pounds, it’s safe to say he’s had some struggles in recent times.

During a recent interview with It’s Time For Sports, Hooker spoke about what it feels like to be dubbed a gatekeeper between the rising stars and the genuine contenders at lightweight.

What is Dan Hooker planning?

As you may have heard, Dan Hooker completed a test weight cut down to featherweight recently and will likely be plying his trade at 145 pounds from now on.

It’s a move he believes will get him closer to a UFC title and, potentially, closer to a showdown with teammate and current featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski.

Everyone knows what Dan Hooker is capable of inside the octagon and there’s no way of ignoring his accomplishments. When it comes to returning to featherweight, though, it’ll be interesting to see what kind of challenge he takes on first.
