Justin Gaethje and Dan Hooker will face each other in a blockbuster striker clash at UFC 313, the bout will take place on March 8 in Las Vegas.

Justin Gaethje and Dan Hooker will face off in the second fight of the evening at UFC 313. The blockbuster clash of strikers is contracted for five rounds at the lightweight division limit. This bout could be a breakthrough for Hooker, who has a string of three wins in a row and a possible win over the American should put him closer to fighting for the UFC belt.

Justin Gaethje fought just one fight in 2024, in addition to a loss. It’s safe to say that what Highlight earned with an impressive win over Dustin Poirier in a duel for the BMF belt, disappeared by losing in a skirmish with Max Holloway. The American had to take a long time to recover, and his break from competing will be eleven months.

Dan Hooker also fought just once last year. The popular Hangman defeated Mateusz Gamrot after a non-unanimous decision by the judges. For Hooker, who enjoys standup battles, it was a breakthrough fight, as it strongly elevated his stock in the lightweight division ranking. The New Zealander is currently ranked sixth and a win over Gaethje should allow him to enter the top three.

Some fans may not remember this, but he has fought Islam Makhachev in the past. The fighters met at UFC 267 at the end of October 2021 and the City Kickboxing fighter lost to the Dagestani by submission.

The Gaethje vs. Hooker duel will take place on March 8 at UFC 313 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The blockbuster clash of strikers will be the second fight of the evening of the event.
