Dan Hooker appeared to sustain more damage at UFC 290 than just a scratch.
Dan Hooker discloses an X-ray of a broken arm
In the pay-per-view main event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Hooker (23-12 MMA, 13-8 UFC) prevailed over Jalin Turner (13-7 MMA, 6-4 UFC) by majority decision, but he did not come out unscathed.
During his in-cage interview, commentator Joe Rogan questioned Hooker if he had broken his right arm, to which the blood-soaked Hooker replied, “Just a scratch.”
It turned out to be much more than that, though. An X-ray of a shattered bone was posted by Hooker. Hooker only used the emoji “shrug” as his only words.

Hooker, 33, was taken to a nearby hospital following the incident but was not accessible to the media. Hooker has now prevailed twice in a row after his triumph on Saturday. This winning streak also includes a TKO victory over Claudio Puelles in November.
