UFC lightweight fighter Nasrat Haqparast recently announced in his Instagram post that his beloved mother has passed away just days ahead of his bout at UFC 266 against Dan Hooker. Hooker offered his condolences to Haqparast for his tragic loss.

The bout between these lightweight fighters at UFC 266 was at a point a few days back where it wasn’t likely to happen.

Hooker was unable to get an appointment at the US Embassy due to the lockdown imposed in Auckland. In a dire attempt, Hooker took to social media to request the embassy to give him an appointment.

‘Hangman’ later revealed that his visa got approved by the US Embassy in New Zealand and that now he will be able to fight against Haqparast at UFC 266 this weekend.
