Chase Hooper faces Mitch Ramirez on an 8-5 UFC record built over 13 appearances since he arrived as one of the promotion's youngest signings. The lightweight has lost his last two, both by knockout, to Lance Gibson Jr. in March and Alexander Hernandez in August 2025. Those setbacks followed the strongest stretch of his career: a unanimous decision over Jim Miller in April 2025 and a submission of Clay Guida in December 2024. A jiu-jitsu specialist who hunts scrambles and submissions, Hooper does his best work once the fight hits the mat. The back-to-back stoppage losses put a premium on his next result. He meets Ramirez, who is still chasing a first UFC win, in Oklahoma City.
