For his return to the lightweight division in the UFC, Dan Hooker has set his sights on Tony Ferguson.
The fight between Ferguson and Hooker was threatened by Hooker (21-12 MMA, 11-8 UFC), who promised to inflict terrible harm on Ferguson (via Twitter).
A victory is a priority for both Hooker and Ferguson.
Hooker, 32, has been winless in his last four fights, all of which ended in knockouts in the first round. In his return to featherweight in March, “The Hangman” was beaten by Arnold Allen by way of TKO.
Beneil Dariush (twice), Charles Oliveira (twice), and Justin Gaethje (thrice) have all beaten Ferguson in his last four matches. With a brutal front kick, “El Cucuy” knocked Chandler out in May.
