ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – Dan Hooker had a very good reason for turning the tables on Paul Felder during their post-fight interview at UFC Fight Night 128. After Hooker (16-7 MMA, 6-3 UFC) scored a first-round knockout of Jim Miller (28-12 MMA, 17-11 UFC) in a lightweight bout on Saturday’s FS1-televised card at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., “The Hangman” changed the narrative of his post-fight interview with Felder (15-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC), who was on commentary for the event. Hooker said he feels deserving of a top-15 opponent after going 3-0 since moving up to the lightweight division, and Felder gave the New Zealander props for calling him out face to face. When explaining his thought process during his backstage interview, Hooker said he wouldn’t have done it any other way.
