Dan Hooker vs Paul Felder set for UFC Auckland

The UFC recently took to their official social media platforms to announce another highly awaited Lightweight clash for early 2020, with Dan Hooker set to step into the Octagon to take on Paul Felder in Auckland.

Felder enters this bout on the back of a controversial win over Edson Barboza in the co-main event of UFC 242. On the other hand, Hooker defeated Al Iaquinta at UFC 243 and will be looking to secure another big win in his hometown of Auckland when the UFC heads to New Zealand on the 23rd of February.

Hooker himself took to Twitter in order to send a message to his next opponent.
