Recent pictures shared by Hooker show that he is recovering well post-surgery. The stitches have been removed, and his hand is healing nicely. It seems like he is on track for a full recovery.
While there is no set timeline for his return, it is uncertain if the UFC is still considering a matchup between Hooker and Gaethje. In the meantime, Gaethje faced Rafael Fiziev in a thrilling bout at UFC 313, earning both fighters a Fight of the Night bonus.
Hooker is determined to return to the octagon soon, especially after securing three consecutive wins for the first time since 2020. His latest victory came in August, where he defeated Mateusz Gamrot at UFC 305 via a split decision.
