wow what an amazing story! I hope he gets compensated appropriately and media highlights this part of the story! Hopefully he can get home to his family as soon as possible

Absolutely crazy. Based on the MacLife interview, it does sound like the UFC is rewarding handsomely for stepping in (deservedly so). The show must go on.

Dan Hooker is the man.

I hope we get as close to 100% Hooker as we can get. This fight deserves it.

Absolute warrior.

He’s taking advantage of the archaic rules of the government regarding Covid.

Hopefully he can get his wife and kids out of New Zealand to be with him in the states as I supposed that could be arranged quicker than the lottery ticket to get back in.

I love Dan but he’s got his work cut out in this one. Islam has been chomping at the bit and waiting for opponents. Dan’s had tough training camps and a Ko loss to Chandler in his recent past.

I just fear he’s too tough for his own good and may get out to sleep in this one. Good luck Dan as it would put him right back into contention with a suprise win here.

Getting a cool 200k extra apparently .. well earned I say. But you make NZ sound way worse than it is my guy.
