It’s well known by this point that Dan Hooker is the kind of man who doesn’t give up without a fight. Come hell or high water, he will do everything in his power to secure the win – but at 155 pounds, he’s been unable to do so in three of his last four outings.

Now, in a recent interview with Oscar Willis, Hooker has revealed that he’s in the process of testing out a weight class change.

“Doin’ a little something something at the moment,” Hooker said. “Gotta make your next move your best move. Let’s just say I’m working with the UFC and a fight dietician very closely and I’m doing a little test run and we’ll see. I’ll be able to answer every question on next week’s show.”
