A training accident pulled Dan Hooker out of UFC 313. Hooker (24-12 MMA, 14-8 UFC) was scheduled to fight former interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje (25-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) in a five-round co-main event March 8 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+ ), but he withdrew due to a hand injury. “The Hangman” showed off his swollen left hand in an interview with Sky Sport New Zealand . “One of the paws is not doing too well,” Hooker said. “I was sparring last night, just as I do, just letting some hooks go, just throwing some bombs down range, and I just caught one of the boys on the top of the dome with my knuckle. I don’t think too much of it, but they sent me off to get a CT scan.
