Takes war from Jalin Turner
Hooker defeated Jalin Turner via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC 290 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's going to go down as one of the most lucrative fights of Hooker's pro career. Not only will he pick up his show and win bonus, but he'll also walk away with 20 percent of Turner's purse after the latter missed weight by two pounds on Friday morning. It took Hooker the better part of eight minutes and countless Turner power shots to get his act together. The light finally appeared to go off late in Round 2. Hooker battered an exhausted Turner before clamping on a rear-naked choke that would have certainly ended the bout had Jalin not been saved by the bell. It ended up not mattering, as Turner was dead tired and Hooker is a zombie. Hooker has typically really struggled against the best the UFC has to offer. This victory over Turner is a good one, especially considering the trouble he was in early on, but Dan will need to keep winning in order to make a real dent in a loaded lightweight division.
