During his recent conversation with Ariel Helwani, Paul Felder did reveal that his fight against Dan Hooker was certainly not his last. However, in order for him to come back to the Octagon, Felder would have to be offered the main event spot of a card.
The Irishman further said that, for his return fight, he could possibly square-off against Al Iaquinta or someone in the Top Five. Felder also noted that he wouldn't mind a rematch against Hooker, but claimed that he knows for a fact that the fight will not be re-booked.
What's next for Paul Felder?
With Paul Felder suffering a split decision loss to Dan Hooker in his last fight in the Octagon, it remains to be seen what the UFC has next in store for 'The Irish Dragon' and who he might eventually get booked against for his return fight.
