Dan Hooker has been busy while waiting to fully recover from his recent injury.
'The Hangman' would be confronted with the Co-Main event of UFC 313 earlier this year until a Hand injury hooker forced itself to withdraw.
His hope for the back -up hunter for the main event of UFC 318 also became a hit when the fan favorite lightweight revealed that he needed a second operation before he returned.
In the meantime, the 35-year-old attracted some negative press after he announced that he would lead his first combat sport event.
Hooker's “King of the Streets” event received Pushback from the president of the Boxing Coaches Association of New Zealand, but it continued as planned, as recent images see.

The 'King of the Streets' event will open with a devastating face plant finish
Dan Hooker posted a video on social media that showed a devastating knockout that took place in the very first fight that took place in “King of the Streets”.
The event would take place as a boxing tournament in MMA gloves where a price of $ 50,000 waited for the man who came at the top.
His transfer to promotion was even supported by Israel Adesanya, where Hooker had no problems finding willing participants for his winner-Takes-All Glove.
Despite the concern that it is established that someone could be seriously injured, where the event was described as “straight criminals”, that it did not stop to take place in what seems to be someone's backyard.
It was not long before Hooker's new company produced a brutal finish, whereby the opening match was terminated in just a few seconds after a huge uppercut had sent a competitor on the floor.
Although the fight was immediately disappeared after a face plant, the hunter quickly got up again before he shared a hug with his opponent with a smile on his face.
Then Hooker continues to train while his wounded hand recovers from surgery
Dan Hooker's preferred time for his return has taken several hits in recent months after his second operation.
Although it does not seem like he will soon jump back, it did not prevent 'the hangman' from continuing to do some work in the gym.
A video placed on his Instagram shows Hooker that protects his right hand while drilling on the pads.
Given their recent feud, a fight with Arman Tsarukyan would be very logical for both men as soon as Hooker is ready to go.
