Chase Hooper
Eleven month layoff for the 22 year old hopefully mentally adjusted himself to the UFC pressure.
“It’s been a wild ride, but I feel like I’m adjusting to it well, I’ve figured out how to deal with the outside pressures, and I know what to expect a little more from fight week; it’s not a whirlwind like it was for the first couple.” Chase Hooper

Adding muscle to his body, Losing body fat.
All that lay off time spent training at Stephen “Wonderbody” Thompson karate school for couple weeks.

“I’m looking forward to hopefully showing that I belong here and I’m improving and the investment that UFC has made in me is paying off and worthwhile.” Chase Hooper
