Surging lightweight Dan ‘The Hangman’ Hooker brought three straight finish wins into his preliminary card bout against Gilbert Burns at tonight’s (Sat., July 7, 2018) UFC 226 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

With the opportunity to debut on the packed UFC lightweight top 15 at hand, the New Zealand native capitalized in a huge way, countering a big right hand from Burns and dropping him with an absolutely massive left hand.
