Many even argued that the clash between the two lightweights is a contender for the Fight of the Year. With UFC now reportedly looking for a new opponent for El Cucuy, Hooker's name has also been thrown into the hat as a potential option.UFC 254 is scheduled for October 24 and will be headlined by the undisputed lightweight title fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje.
