MILWAUKEE –  Dan Hooker doesn’t need any added motivation to fight Edson Barboza on Saturday at UFC on FOX 31. He knows exactly what type of opportunity is in front of him, and he intends on taking full advantage. Hooker (17-7 MMA, 7-3 UFC) meets longtime lightweight contender Barboza (19-6 MMA, 13-6 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC on FOX 31 co-headliner. “The Hangman” is 4-0 with four stoppages since moving up to 155 pounds in June 2017, and now he get the opportunity to truly prove his worth against one of the best in the division. Some fighters could go an entire career without being in a position like Hooker.
