The spectacular French UFC lightweight Benoit Saint-Denis spoke about the upcoming fight against New Zealander Dan Hooker, which will take place on Sunday night at UFC 325 in Sydney, Australia.

"Whether I'm a knockout artist or not - Hooker will find out in the octagon. I don’t know how many knockouts he has in the UFC - I have four. I have a one hundred percent rate of early victories, including submissions and knockouts, so I think Hooker knows... he knows that there will be a battle in the octagon.

I want to fight the best version of Dan Hooker, and may the best fighter win," said Saint-Denis.

Let's recall that UFC 325 will be headlined by a featherweight title rematch between Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopez.
