News Chandler vs Hooker Set For UFC 257 Jan 23

[Switchstep]

Winnable fight for both guys. I like it

 

[Noraaq]

Bad style matchup + USADA = chandler getting an L

he better hit some TDs early and tire Hooker out or else he’s getting KOd.

I will be throwing some cash on Hooker is the odds are good

 

[Franklin U.]

I called the shot of Tony making big mistake of taking bronx fight instead of doggedly going after Chandler debut.

Chandler Hooker perfect fight for both guys. I dont consider Hook a top 5-6 guy and we'll finally see what Chandler brings to the table

 

[kdday]

why the fuck didn't chandler take one of the short notice fights he was offered, Hooker is going to be a nightmare for him, he could've atleast lost and blamed short notice.

Hooker by Tko

 

[Aurelian]

[Beherit]

The worst possible match-up for Chandler, props to him for taking this fight

oliveira ??? Ferreira ?

Hooker been in some wars. He might be done.

 

[runjay]

Shoulda gave him to barbosa. Show him how we “kick” it in the octagon

 

[ExitLUPin]

Hooker been in some wars. He might be done.

Chandler had been in as much himself and is older

 

[Safton]

I love this fight. I've been saying that I think Hooker is the top end of the guys that I feel Chandler "deserves". These guys have the chemistry to make an exciting-as-fuck fight, too. Both very violent dudes willing to go to war. While I would have liked to see Chandler's debut be in a five-round fight, as it stands this is a really solid co-main that can potentially fill in for the main card should something happen (JBG forbid).

I tend to favor Hooker (TKO Rd 3), but there's something on the table for Chandler if he laces up those wrestling shoes early and grinds on him as he has stated his intentions to do. Super excited for this.

[SalvadorAllende]

Hooker starches Chandler.

 

[Stop Being Greedy]

Would love to see Chandler get the KO. He'll probably eat a knee up the middle though.

It might get interesting since Hooker doesn't have the best cardio. He's been initiating the grappling more and more lately when taking damage on the feet and that probably doesn't work out well for him in this fight, if he has to go that route.

 

[Kingz]

Easy money for Chandler

 

[Peli]

It's a 50-50 fights hooker couldn't handle Dustin's wrestling and Dustin wrestling isn't at an elite level however Dustin's striking is where as Chandler's striking is not

Should be interesting.

 

[JKS]

Chandler by split decision.

 

[Mike]

There now all the weird Chandler haters can STFU for a minute

 

[swarrrm]

So do bronx vs gaethje it is, nice.
