I\u2019ve come to terms with that, brother. So, I\u2019ve embraced that.

While Gaethje once held interim gold, he\u2019s never been the undisputed UFC lightweight champion. \u201cThe Highlight\u201d also hasn\u2019t had a win since 2023, as he took some time away from the Octagon after suffering one of the most spectacular knockouts in MMA history against Max Holloway last year.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>If you use any quotes from this article, please credit the original source and leave an H\/T to BJPenn.com with a link back for the transcription.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> Stephania Wiers<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjpenn.com\/mma-news\/dan-hooker\/dan-hooker-expects-to-be-stretchered-out-following-ufc-313-fight-against-justin-gaethje\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=dan-hooker-expects-to-be-stretchered-out-following-ufc-313-fight-against-justin-gaethje\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dan Hooker Believes UFC 313 Ends in Hospital Visit During an interview with ESPN Australia, Dan Hooker discussed his upcoming showdown with Justin Gaethje.
