Dan Hooker Says a Win Over Benoit Saint Denis Ends Any Debate About His UFC Ranking

“After a long layoff, it’s been good to get straight back in there,” Hooker said after his November loss to Tsarukyan. “You’re a loser ’til you win again…so it’s good to get the opportunity to get a win.” He added, “You beat BSD and they can’t justify you fighting outside the top 5 again.” Hooker also cited “year-and-a-halfback-to-back hand surgeries” before UFC 325.
