Willing to compete against the former lightweight champion (up to 70,3kg), Dan seeks to resume his good form in the organization. Today, the New Zealander is going through his worst moment as a professional in MMA. In total, there are four defeats in the last five fights.

In his last commitment, Hooker decided to test himself in the featherweight division (up to 65,7kg). The 'adventure', however, ended tragically for the fighter. The athlete was severely knocked out by arnold allen still in the first round.

If the situation for Dan is not good, the same cannot be said for Dos Anjos. The athlete currently occupies sixth position in the category and has two positive results in a row. The great phase was one of the reasons that made the Brazilian reject the New Zealander's proposal.
