Dan Hooker preparing for violent scrap against Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC 325: ‘Definitely not shy getting into a wild fist fight’

Dan Hooker is expecting a chaotic and violent fight against Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC 325.

Hooker is set to take on Saint-Denis in the co-main event of UFC 325 in Australia in a pivotal fight at lightweight. The winner of the fight will be a win or two away from a title shot, so the stakes are high. Yet, Hooker is hoping it’s also a fun fight, which he guarantees it will be.

“I don’t give a flying f**k about BSD,” Hooker said on UFC 324 Countdown. “I’m just going to make him suffer, that’s my plan. He’s not shy about getting himself into a wild fist fight, and I’m definitely not shy getting into a wild fist fight. I want to put on a show for my fans here in Sydney, and I just want it to be an absolute firefight.”
