Dan Hooker is one of the most popular lightweight superstars on the UFC roster. Dan has a reputation for being a tough competitor who never gives up. Hooker joined UFC back in 2015 and has been part of some action-packed fights. 

Hooker never backs out of a challenge and has fought fighters such as Yair Rodríguez, Gilbert Burns, Al Iaquinta, Paul Felder, Dustin Poirier, Michael Chandler, etc. The Kiwi is well known for his determination and commitment to give amazing fights. However, something that Hooker is not known for is having tattoos. But the fighter changed that scenario by getting two tattoos this year. 

Hooker wanted to do more than just get new tattoos, so he decided to change his hair as well. He dyed it blonde for the first time ever, and it really suits him. Hooker clearly enjoys his tattoos a lot, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see him get more in the future. Hopefully, this new version of Hooker will bring something different to the octagon and climb up the lightweight rankings like he did before.

A samurai helmet tattoo is pretty common in combat sports with lots of athletes getting those as it resembles being a warrior. Hooker’s tattoo is quite big and spans throughout his upper back and has great details. The fighter must be very pleased with how it turned out.
