Dan Hooker emerged victorious in his UFC 290 bout against Jalin Turner, but the celebration took an unexpected turn when Hooker discovered a broken wrist. Initially dismissing Joe Rogan’s inquiry about a potential fracture, Hooker later shared an X-ray image on social media, leaving no doubt about the injury.
Despite the setback, Hooker maintained a lighthearted attitude, adding a shrug emoji to his post. Throughout the fight, Turner endured his fair share of difficulties, enduring powerful strikes that included a perfectly executed head kick. By the end, his bleached blonde hair had transformed into a crimson hue due to bloodshed. Nevertheless, Turner secured the victory, earning two scores of 29-28 (with one judge dissenting in favor of Turner by the same margin).
Prior to revealing the image of his injured arm, Hooker uploaded a photo alongside Turner, both fighters having been taken to the hospital for medical attention after the grueling encounter. Turner also captured the moment in his own tribute.
