In the co-main event of the pay-per-view card, Hooker is set to welcome Michael Chandler to the UFC. For the “Hangman” he says to be on this card will only help him moving forward as he knows there will be a ton of eyes on him. “That is an awesome fight, it is a huge card to kick off the year,” Hooker said on Just Scrap Radio on BJPENN.com. “Fighting on any Conor McGregor you will get a whole lot more eyes. It is a massive opportunity for me to go out there and make a statement in front of a whole new fanbase.”
