Dan Hooker injured, Rafael Fiziev volunteers to step in
Sadly, Dan Hooker is out of his scheduled UFC 313 battle towards Justin Gaethje on March 8 in Las Vegas.
The excellent news is, Rafael Fiziev has volunteered to step in as a substitute. The 2 males fought in a three-round bout at UFC 286 in March 2023, with Gaethje incomes a majority determination win.
“Let’s run it again,” Fiziev wrote on Twitter, tagging Gaethje’s account.

Hooker introduced Tuesday, through his daughter’s YouTube channel, that he’s out of the light-weight bout as a consequence of a hand damage.
“Dad had a battle, or was presupposed to have a battle, however I’ve busted my paw,” Hooker stated.
