Hooker (24-14 MMA) had entered tonight’s bout looking to bounce back after suffering a one-sided submission loss to Arman Tsarukyan in his most recent bout. Octagon appearance last November. Prior to that setback, ‘The Hangman’ had put together a three-fight win streak, including victories over Jalin Turner and Mateusz Gamrot.
Meanwhile, Benoit Saint Denis (17-3 MMA) entered tonight’s bout on a three-fight winning streak. His most recent triumph was a 16-second knockout victory over Beneil Dariush last November at UFC 322. “God of War” had scored finishes in all three of his most recent UFC appearances.
Tonight’s UFC 325 co-main event resulted in another impressive performance for the streaking Frenchman in Benoit Saint Denis. Despite taking some hard body kicks, ‘God of War’ was able to control Dan Hooker on the ground and ultimately avoid an arm-triangle choke in the second round that ended the fight. The win marked BSD’s fourth in a row.

10-9 BSD by a small margin. Hooker burned him to the body for much of the round. Very difficult round to score.
