In a bloody clash with Jalin Turner, Dan Hooker notched a hard-fought victory by split decision Saturday night at UFC 290.
UFC 290 offered one of the craziest cards fans of the sport have seen in a while. Featuring a one-punch knockout in early prelims, a brutal 20-second knockout, a 38-second knockout, a retirement and a flyweight title change, Saturday was a unique occasion where Hooker's victory didn't take center stage.
For a moment, it seemed like Turner was poised for the win when he launched a destructive head kick. But somehow, Hooker came back with a flurry of hits that led him to victory. After the final horn, two judges scored the fight 29-28 in his favor, with the third official giving the same 29-28 card to Turner.“It’s just a scratch. We’ll have to see,” he said with a laugh.
