He faced the debuting Ian Entwistle in that contest, scoring a first-round knockout win in the featherweight contest.<\/p>\n<p>A rocky two years followed that win, as Hooker went 2-3 over that span. A move to lightweight seemed to get things back on track for Hooker after that, as he put together a four-fight winning streak, beating notable names in Ross Pearson, Marc Diakiese, Jim Miller and Gilbert Burns.<\/p>\n<p>That stretch of victories earned Hooker the No. 14 ranking in the 155-pound division against the No. 5 ranked Edson Barboza in the co-main event of a UFC on FOX card. Barboza ended Hooker\u2019s winning streak with a first-round knockout.<\/p>\n<p>Hooker bounced back from that defeat with wins over James Vick, Al Iaquinta, and Paul Felder, working himself up to No. 5 in the division. In 2020 he met Dustin Poirier, who was ranked No. 3 in a UFC Fight Night main event. Poirier won that five-round scrap by unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 48-46).<\/p>\n<p>Since that loss, the 36-year-old Hooker has been inconsistent, posting a 4-5 record. It should be noted his losses have come against tough competition in Michael Chandler, Islam Makhachev, Arnold Allen, Arman Tsarukyan, and Benoit Saint Denis. <\/p>\n<p>Hooker is riding a two-fight losing skid into Saturday\u2019s UFC Paris card.

Parnasse won the KSW featherweight title twice. He also served as the promotions\u2019s lightweight champion from April 2024 through April 2026, defending that title four times with four knockout wins. <\/p>\n<p>Earlier this summer, the 28-year-old told Ariel Helwani how his UFC deal came to be, \u201cAfter my fight with MVP, the UFC contacted me, and it was an opportunity, it was really simple \u2014 it was to be part of this main event in my hometown in Paris. So it was a really good opportunity for me and I accepted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This time, they offered me a really good opportunity.
