Lightweight fan favorite Dan Hooker suffered an arm injury and is now out of his ”peoples main event” against Bobby Green on December 2. The news was first reported by the New Zealand Herald.

According to MMA Junkie, the promotion is actively seeking a replacement for Hooker.

“Let me see who gangster like me. I guarantee don’t nobody step up. Let’s find out,” Green said in a video posted to his Instagram Stories.

“I fought on 10 days’ notice. I went on two weeks’ notice. I done made weight, passed the fuck out, my lungs collapsed and everything on two weeks’ notice. I done did it all.”
