The UFC has officially announced that Hooker will meet No. 6-ranked Paul Felder at the UFC Auckland event in February. The show will go down from the Spark Arena in Auckland on February 23.

Felder is currently on a two-fight win streak, with decision victories over both James Vick and Edson Barboza. Now, “The Irish Dragon” continues his pursuit of UFC gold when he meets another fellow top-ten ranked lightweight in Hooker, who has looked solid as of late. Hooker is on a two-fight win streak of his own, which started with a devastating knockout win over James Vick in July. He followed that up with a great performance in Australia, handing Al Iaquinta a decision loss at UFC 243.
What do you think about the UFC matching up Felder vs. Hooker for February in New Zealand?
