UFC 290 may have been the best card of the year. It was jam packed with explosive fights that had fans on the edge of their seats.
The brawl between Dan Hooker and Jalin Turner lived up to the hype as it was an all-out war from the jump.
Hooker walked away with a big win, but it wasn’t without suffering a serious injury.
After the fight, Joe Rogan asked Dan Hooker if he broke his arm. The New Zealander responded with “It’s just a scratch. We’ll have to see.”

However, lat Saturday night-early Sunday morning, Hooker revealed his x-ray results on social media. As it turns out, it’s a bit more than “just a scratch.”

It looks like a full clean break right near the wrist. So, Dan Hooker will have to get his arm fixed.
We’re not likely to see him back in the cage for quite sometime. Regardless, Hooker won over fight fans with his brilliant performance at UFC 290.
I mean, the guy broke his arm and still put on a show! You can’t ask for more from a fighter.
You’re a beast! What a war!

Jalin Turner is no joke either! That was certainly one of the better fights you’ll see.

Perfect use of this Monty Python reference.

Dan Hooker very clearly has to heal up his arm before he can get back to action.
But fight fans can’t wait to see him in the cage again. With that said, keep an eye out for any updates on Hooker in the coming months.
