Dan Hooker and Paul Felder put their differences aside while greeting each other in traditional Maori fashion.
Hooker and Felder meet in the main event of UFC Auckland this Saturday in what is a pivotal lightweight bout. Things between the pair are also heated, especially after Hooker took issue with Felder mocking his last name. “Hangman” also wasn’t a fan of Felder stating that he wanted to knock him out in front of his friends and family.
It only promises to make their matchup that much more exciting. For now, things were a bit more cordial when they went face-to-face with a traditional Maori greeting. However, there was still a bit of tension in the air.
You can watch it below:
Despite their animosity, Hooker claimed he would have never done anything during that moment because it would have disrespected the Maori culture.
“Accepting and coming in, the Maoris are a place of peace,” Hooker stated later in the video. “You can’t bring in any tension like that to a Maori. It would have been incredibly disrespectful of me to push him or shove him. … I have too much respect for the Maori culture to do anything silly.”

UFC lightweight contender Paul Felder was a part of the broadcast team for UFC 246 last month, which featured the return of Conor McGregor.
McGregor headlined the record-breaking pay-per-view (PPV) event by taking on Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, who he took out in only 40 seconds. After the win, McGregor walked past the broadcast team and shouted “f*ck you!” It seemed like McGregor was aiming the remark towards Felder, a fellow 155-pound contender. However, it remains unclear what issues McGregor might have with Felder.
Some believe that McGregor might have been, instead, talking to Kamaru Usman or Jorge Masvidal who were seated in the crowd. Speaking to MMA Fighting, Felder doesn’t really put too much thought into it, as he’s focused on his upcoming opponent, Dan Hooker.
“I was there like what? Is he talking about me?” Felder said. “Some people are saying he was talking about me. Other people were saying he was talking about [Kamaru] Usman or [Jorge] Masvidal. At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter.
“It got me plenty of attention even if it wasn’t meant towards me. It doesn’t matter. But we’re having fun with it. That’s one people are taking (it) so serious, coming at me. I’m like, guys, it’s a joke. I’m not fighting Conor right now, I’m fighting Dan Hooker. Relax.”
Felder and Hooker will headline the UFC Auckland card from the Spark Arena in New Zealand this weekend (Sat. February 22, 2020). It’s a fight that has actually featured a bit of bad blood, as Felder and Hooker have been exchanging some slightly personal trash talk over the past few weeks. Both men are talented strikers and never fail to put on a show.
It will be interesting to see who comes out on top when Felder challenges Hooker in front of his native New Zealand crowd.

Dan Hooker did not take too kindly to Paul Felder’s recent comments about him. Hooker and Felder will headline UFC Auckland from the Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand on February 23.
Recently, Felder said he looks forward to knocking out “Hangman” in front of his own friends and family in his hometown of Auckland.
“I’m invading into his country. My whole plan is to knock his ass out in front of all his friends and family and take that money and get out of there and go on to a title shot.”
Hooker didn’t appear to appreciate those comments, as he tells MMA Junkie that things just got very personal ahead of their clash in February.
“It’s definitely crossed that line for me,” Hooker said. “I didn’t feel that this fight needed any of that. I didn’t feel like this fight needed anything added to it, you know? We’re two of the best, we’re both just brawlers, we love to come in there and throw down.
“I don’t think it was necessary, but if he wants to start throwing those things out there, I’m not going to sit back and take it. I’m going to retaliate, I’m going to bring the heat and yeah, it’s definitely crossed the line for me, gone into a very personal nature.”
Hooker predicts that he’ll fold Felder “like a lawn chair” when they fight, and expects a fast start to things when the fight kicks off.
“I’m going to fold that boy like a deckchair, I promise you,” Hooker said. “I think it’s going to be a fast start. Whether it happens in the first or the fifth, I do not care. It’s up to him. It’s when he wants to take those risks, but I’m chinning that boy, I promise.”
