'Patan', however, was not worried about it, and when he was asked for his thoughts during an exclusive chat with Bloody Elbow seemed not to be aware that the fight was gone. Speaking as an interested ambassador, he was asked to give an opinion and noted that he is too locked up to notice it.
“I didn't actually see that,” he said, before he explained his position. “If it's time for the fight, I really coordinate a bit of everything. I will eventually see a hunter during the Vechtweek and realize: “Oh that guy is fighting tonight!” I just vote a bit to be honest. “

During an appearance on Sky Sport NZ, Hooker said that 'despite the injury would still' fight 'and have worn gloves of different sizes to compete. However, he joked that it might be a struggle to get through basic medicals with such a serious ailment.
