Dan Hooker announced his withdrawal from UFC 313 after suffering a fractured hand during a sparring session. Scheduled to fight Justin Gaethje on March 8, Hooker detailed the incident, explaining he struck a sparring partner accidentally. As no replacement has been named for Gaethje with the event approaching, Hooker expressed disappointment for fans looking forward to the match. He remains optimistic about future fights, though it is uncertain how his recovery and the UFC's plans will unfold, as Hooker reflects on his recent successes and challenges inside the Octagon.
One of the paws is not doing too well. I was sparring last night, just throwing some bombs down range, and I caught one of the boys on the top of the dome with my knuckle.
It's unfortunate that it was this close. Obviously, gutted for all the fans that I know that were excited for this fight. That's probably the main thing.
