Dan Hooker will make a quick turnaround to fight close to home next year.
Approximately two months after falling to Arman Tsarukyan via second-round submission in the UFC Qatar headliner, “The Hangman” will square off against Benoit St. Denis in the UFC 325 co-main event. The promotion confirmed a number of bouts for the Jan. 31 card over the weekend.

UFC 325 takes place at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia and features a featherweight title rematch pitting Alexander Volkanovski against Diego Lopes. Other main card bouts include Rafael Fiziev vs. Mauricio Ruffy at lightweight; Tai Tuivasa vs. Tallison Teixeira at heavyweight and Jimmy Crute vs. Dustin Jacoby at light heavyweight. The card will stream on Paramount+.
Prior to facing Tsarukyan, Hooker had compiled a three-bout winning streak in the Octagon that included victories over the likes of Claudio Puelles, Jalin Turner and Mateusz Gamrot.
St. Denis, meanwhile, is coming off a 3-0 2025 campaign. Most recently, “God of War” scored a 16-second knockout of Beneil Dariush at UFC 322 on Nov. 15.
