UFC featherweight Chase Hooper issued a statement following his loss at UFC 263: “I always give it my all and leave everything in the cage.”<\/p>\n

Just 21 years of age, Hooper is one of the youngest fighters on the UFC roster, but he entered his UFC 263 fight against Steven Peterson with a 2-1 record in the promotion<\/a>. A talented Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner, Hooper defeated Daniel Teymur in his UFC debut via TKO and also submitted Peter Barrett via heel hook in his last outing, which sandwiched a unanimous decision loss to Alex Caceres in between. With Hooper being super young and improving his game, he entered the fight with Peterson as a very slight favorite to win. However, the fight did not go his way, and Peterson ended up winning a clear decision.<\/p>\n

There are many fans and media who believe that Hooper needs more seasoning on the regional scene, and there are some who believe he will be released in order to improve his overall MMA game. Taking to his social media<\/a> following UFC 263, Hooper said he makes no excuses for the loss to Peterson and promised he will get back in the gym and get to work.<\/p>\n
