Chase Hooper’s literal growing pains have taken place in the UFC, but it’s time to stop looking at “The Dream” as the same 18-year-old that shined on Dana White’s Contender Series almost six years ago.
On Saturday, Hooper will make his ninth walk to the Octagon, facing Viacheslav Borshchev in the UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs Nascimento prelim headliner. Hooper competed at featherweight for the first six fights of his UFC career, alternating wins and losses for a 3-3 journey at 145 pounds.
