Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2019-10-06, some good exchanges between Al Iaquinta and Dan Hooker but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two.Al Iaquinta entered this fight with a pro mma record of 14-5-1 (57% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.8 lightweight in the world but he lost two out of his last three fights, against current #1 Ufc Lw champ Khabib Nurmagomedov (Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Al Iaquinta) and Donald Cerrone (Al Iaquinta vs Donald Cerrone); between these two bouts he beat Kevin Lee in their rematch (Kevin Lee vs Al Iaquinta 2).
His opponent, Dan Hooker, has a record of 18-8-0 (94% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.16 in the same weight class. He lost to Edson Barboza last year (Edson Barboza vs Dan Hooker) but he came back to win against James Vick in 2019 (Dan Hooker vs James Vick). Iaquinta vs Hooker is on the undercard of Robert Whittaker vs Israel Adesanya – UFC 243. Watch the video and rate this fight!
