Dan Hooker had an all-out war against Dustin Poirier a week ago. Given the slug fest that it was, Hooker had ten stitches right below his eyebrows. Back home in New Zealand, Hooker is in quarantine at a hotel. Given the time he has on his hands, Hooker decided to get creative with how he removed his stitches.

Hooker suffered a unanimous decision loss to Poirier in the main event of the last fight card at UFC Apex, before the action headed over to Fight Island. Hooker dislayed his crisp striking in the first two rounds. He was ahead on the judges’ scorecard during that period. However, the former interim champ’s tank lasted longer than the Kiwi’s. He dominated Hooker in the latter half of the fight en route to a decision victory.

After a potential Fight of the Year performance, Hooker is forced to stay away from his family due to regulations imposed by the government. However, Hooker maybe away from his loved ones, but he is not completely off the radar. He has talked to the media during his quarantine.

All by himself, Hooker wanted to remove the stitches on his eye as they had served their purpose. To his disappointment, he didn’t have a pair of scissors. Hence, the former featherweight decided to try something new.

Hooker had a new toe nail clipper at his disposal instead of a pair of stitches. He decided that they can still serve the purpose that he was looking for.

In a loaded lightweight division, Hooker has many options coming off a loss. He has expressed a desire to have either Tony Ferguson or Charles Oliveira as his next opponent.
