Media Predictions for Hooker vs Chandler?

[JustBleed69]

Chandler thinks Hooker is one of the tougher match ups for him and I tend to agree.

I'm hoping Chandler wins as I think it makes the division much more interesting, however I think Hooker makes it look easy and gets the KO/TKO within 2 rounds.

Chandlers best chance is a wrestle heavy game plan imo and Hooker is pretty hard to hold/ keep down so I feel like it could turn into a lot of cage clinch work.
How do you guys see it going?

 

[Krixes]

Chandler grinds out a close decision win by using his wrestling.

 

[SaltFork]

Chandler by k.o.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Im thinking Chandler, but wouldn't be surprised or upset with a Hooker win

 

[smooth assassin]

Hooker will slap him and then call him Susan

 

[JSN]

I’m picking Hooker to get a late TKO but TBH Hooker has had a pretty charmed career so far in not having to face guys who are going to put him on the mat, so his takedown defense is basically unproven.

Hangman by TKO. Or whatever he chooses.

Hooker isn't elite but he has knees from hell and a vicious gillioutine. I can see him catching Chandler coming in with either of those.

That's Hooker's only bet though. Catch Chandler coming in. He aint winning on the scorecards.

He's elite enough to have 2 FOTY contenders against Felder and Poirier. Dan's 30 and entering his prime. He isn't going anywhere. Agreed with your prediction though.

Chandler wins in a very boring decision

 

[runjay]

Hooker via headlock

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

Hooker, Chandler is a fraud.

 

[BFoe]

Tough to pick, but I’m leaning towards Chandler grinding out a decision with his wrestling game. There’s some questions about his chin so that could definitely be a factor. But I think a Chandler wrestlefuck decision is the most likely outcome.

Would like to see Dan come out on top but I can see Chandler winning this one

Yeah FOTY. That means competitive bouts in which he took alot of damage. He's very good and tough as hell, but elite? Nah let's not throw that word around. Elite to me is when a fighter can dominate another elite fighter. But yeah let's agree to disagree.

Glad we're on the same page on the rest tho.

 

[Fahcough]

Chandler via fake TD overhand right leads to a TKO. Late 3rd, early 4th after Dan is arm heavy from defending shots.

 

[Rebel_LioN]

Hooker is going to chop him down with calf kicks. Chandler is pretty heavy on that lead leg. We saw what happened against Primus.

 

[Jinx_AA]

Hooker hard to take down !

Also those saying chandler grinds him to s boring decision .....when gas hooker ever been grinded or In a boring fight ,?!?!

You fight hooker , you're going toe to toe in a stand-up war ....I don't think chandler can handle that pressure/pace and hooker will wear him out .

Well, if Dan isn't elite then that means neither is Felder or Poirier since the fights were so close. He also has a win over Burns. If those guys aren't elite, then who is? That would be a very small number of fighters like Izzy and Jones etc.
