UFC lightweight Dan Hooker has announced his withdrawal from the highly anticipated fight against Justin Gaethje at UFC 313 due to a fractured hand sustained during sparring. He shared details on his daughter's YouTube channel and further elaborated that the injury happened while he was throwing punches. Recognizing the disappointment among fans, Hooker expressed his regret and remarked that 'the Lords of War' were not pleased with the situation. In the aftermath, Arman Tsarukyan took a jab at Hooker on social media, leading to a heated exchange between the two fighters.
"One of the paws is not doing too well. I was sparring last night, as I do, just letting some hooks go... and I just caught one of the boys on the top of the dome with my knuckle."
"It's unfortunate that it was this close. Obviously, gutted for all the fans that I know that were excited for this fight."
"Karma doesn't miss. Big mouth, glass hands - maybe just stick to talking instead of fighting..."
"If only your dad pulled out quicker than your last fight. Glass hand haha glass house."
