“Feeling sharp” Dan Hooker flexes his physique as he trains for his featherweight fight

Dan Hooker is ready to make his featherweight debut
UFC fan-favorite from New Zealand, Dan Hooker is looking fit as a featherweight. The former lightweight had decided to move down a weight division and the “Hangman” flexes his physique ahead of his bout.
Dan Hooker will be returning to familiar territory as he prepares to take on the 8-fight winning streak fighter, Arnold Allen this weekend in UFC London: Volkov vs Aspinall. The former lightweight decided to move down a weight class and will now go back to fighting as a 145-pound fighter. The fighter made his debut as a featherweight in 2014 for the promotion.
Hooker, in his recent Instagram post, flexed his physique and showed his fans what his final form looks like ahead of his much-anticipated bout. “Last session in the books, feeling sharp and ready to scrap,” wrote Dan in the caption. “Thanks to the team at [War Fighter Athlteic] for looking after me this camp.”
Why Dan Hooker decided to move down to the featherweight division?

Before making the decision to move down a weight division, Hooker had to go through some of the toughest challenges in the lightweight division. The fighter fought two title contenders in his last five fights. Dan went 2-3 in his last five fights losing to only the top-ranked fighters. After losing to Islam Makhachev, Dan decided to go back to the featherweight division.
As a featherweight, the New Zealand fighter is 3-3 in the UFC. His bout against Arnold is a real challenge but Hooker feels like he can take that. “This is my weight class. One hundred percent, without a shadow of a doubt,” said Dan in his interview with Ariel Helwani. “It requires another level of sacrifice. It requires another level of dedication that 155 doesn’t demand of me.”
