Dan Hooker will go up to lightweight again to face Claudio Puelles at UFC 281 on November 12.

In March, Hooker returned to featherweight after six years, but lost to Arnold Allen via TKO in the first round. The former top ranked lightweight is now 1-4 in his past five fights.

Puelles submitted veteran Clay Guida in his last fight, and currently has five straight wins.
