Dan Hooker back too soon.

[Pikkon]

He was in a war with Dustin but got punished way more than Dustin and went back in half a year.
Count in hard sparring in preparation for the fight it's even less. The guy should way at least 9 months to a year before even booking a new fight.

 

[Mr Joyboy]

I say just bleed.

It's cage fighting, and it was better when guys would fight and defend their titles 3 or so times a year.

If he comes back to life...

I mean Poirier fight the same night as Hooker. Looks like he just ate a hard shot to the head.

Are you going to use this as a excuse as to why he lost?

 

[BRASIL WAND]

He’s not on Chandler’s level. Matter of fact his ranking was solely gifted to him because of the UFC’s ambition to market to the Australia/NZ demographic.

There’s levels to this.

I don't really care about him, honestly, I don't like him that much after the shit he said to Dustin but a fact is a fact.

 

[MadNIghtKing]

Does anyone think Dan will retire? He was unwrapping the tape after the fight. Feel bad for Dan but maybe it’s the right decision

I guess that made him keep his right hand so low. It’s also why Chandler looks two weight classes lighter in speed.

 

[Joseph_McBride]

Maybe. He had definitely taken a lot of damage his previous 2 fights, on top the Barboza beatdown.

If not he still had a terrible gameplan. Backing up with his chin in the air instead of using his reach was dumb. I know his head coach wasn't in his corner but couldn't they have video chatted a better game plan?

 

[Huligani]

I think the 6 months was adequate. He just got outclassed, would've happened if he fought Chandler in Q3 2021 as well.

That, and his wins over Burns, Yaquinta, & Felder. Not too mention he did better against Poirier than anyone other Khabib in recent history.

Fact? .... or opinion. I mean it's fine to have your opinion but dont call it a fact
