Russian star Islam Makhachev has made short work of New Zealand's Dan Hooker at UFC 267.

Hooker submitted after 2 mins 25 secs in Abu Dhabi as Makhachev won his ninth consecutive fight.

It was Hooker's second fight in 35 days, and came on the back of Hooker's well publicised issues with MIQ and getting visas to compete overseas. 

Hooker stepped in to fight after Rafael dos Anjos withdrew.
