Hooker bought the hype about his height/reach and being a nightmare matchup for Chandler. He didn't have a good gameplan for such an aggressive/powerful fighter who starts out strong.
Hooker is a good fighter but he's not the prime Jon Jones of LW just because of his build..not even close. He's coming off a loss and close SD. He was also finished by Barboza just a couple of years ago. Yet all anyone talked about was him beating a drained Burns that didn't belong at LW. He should've known Chandler would go for the kill early, as a longer fight favored Hooker.
