Dan Hooker predicted UFC 313 fight with Justin Gaethje would leave him in hospital days before pulling out

Dan Hooker knew that he should go to dark places to beat Justin Gaethje, probably including a hospital department.

The number of the six arranged lightweight would be confronted with Gaethje in the Co-Main event of UFC 313 under the defending defense of Alex Pereira against Magomed Ankalaev next week. But Hooker is now forced with a hand injury, which means that the UFC will climb for a replacement in the coming hours.

The resident of Nieuw -Zeeland has insisted that he would like to fight because of the injury, but that medicalities make that almost impossible. He now wants to book the competition, which so far would have been his most controversial so far at a new event.

Then Hooker is from UFC 313 with horrible injury

This morning a video unveiled on the YouTube channel of Dan Hooker's daughter that he was out of his coming fight against Justin Gaethje. The competition is expected to be one of the most exciting on the UFC 313 card, which now misses one of the biggest names.

Since then he has explained that he picked up the injury during sparring and still wanted to fight through it, but may not be able to fit into fighting gloves. “One of the legs is not doing so well,” he told Ravinder Hunia during their Sky Sport New Zealand show.

“So last night sparing, just like me, just let it go, I threw a number of bombs in the reach and caught one of the boys on the dome with my knuckle … I didn't think too much, but they sent me away to get a CT scan, had a small CT scan and they told me my hand was broken.

“I would clearly still fight. But with the medical people if they squeeze your hands, I would just be there [cringeing in pain]. We will see how it all happens. ”

When Hunia joked that he might not fit in his gloves by the time he came to Las Vegas, he might need two different sizes. “I will be like” May I have one big glove and one 3XL please? ” They will be like “what?” “

His plan is to have the fight again booked, although it is still to be seen whether Gaethje stays on the map for UFC 313. “We will see if we can kick this fight on the road,” he said in a more gloomy tone. “We'll just wait, honey.

“It's just a shame it was so close. It is clear that I have been stripped for all fans I know they were enthusiastic about this fight. That is probably the most important thing, only the Lords of War were not happy and they took it away from you. “

Then Hooker predicted that UFC 313 fight would leave him in the hospital

On the way to the fight, Hooker was no illusions about how violent the potential of a fight with Gaethje would be. The former interim light weight and BMF champion is known as 'the highlight', and is just as notorious as his rival for the brutality of his fighting.

And it seems that he knew he would go to the hospital, although perhaps not as early as he finally needed medical help. “I know very well, 100 percent, that, regardless of whether his arm is raised, my arm is raised, I go straight to a stretcher,” Hooker Days said before the fight was canceled.

“Right in the back of an ambulance and I go to the hospital. I have come to terms, so this night will put an end to darling. I came to terms with that, brother. I embrace it. “
