LAS VEGAS – Chase Hooper isn’t trying to go after the oldest names in the lightweight division, but it could be the way the stars align after UFC 310 . Hooper (15-3-1 MMA, 7-3 UFC) improved to 4-0 since moving up to 155 pounds from featherweight on Saturday when he submitted Clay Guida with an armbar in the opening round of their fight at T-Mobile Arena. The matchup between Hooper, 25, and Guida, 43, marked the largest age disparity between opponents in modern UFC history, and the younger fighter got it done. In the aftermath of the performance, Hooper was floated the idea of a matchup with Jim Miller next. Despite being 41, Miller (38-18 MMA, 27-17 UFC) has won six of his past eight octagon appearances and holds multiple all-time records in the company, including most wins in UFC history. “I don’t see why not,” Hooper told MMA Junkie and other reporters of a matchup with Miller post-fight at UFC 310.
