News Chandler vs Hooker Set For UFC 257 Jan 23

[mjfan23]

Very winnable for Hooker.

Chandler should have been given an easier first fight.

Easy win for Mike Chandler. Hooker chin will get destroy here. Chandler coming for that belt.

 

[dmwalking]

Finally someone to shut chandler up

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Post a poll ya goof!

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

where does chandler go if he loses to hooker

Back to Bellator.

 

[Finding Deebo]

Damn Chandler pulled pretty much his worst possible match-up at LW.
The divisions best anti-wrestler who also happens to have a granite chin and legit KO power in hands, feet and knees.

RIP chandy. He'll get an easy one after he gets KO'ed in the first.

So I've watched Hooker fight a bit but where's this "best anti-wrestler" angle coming from? I can't recall too many people trying to take him down.

HOOKER BY CROOK

So I've watched Hooker fight a bit but where's this "best anti-wrestler" angle coming from? I can't recall too many people trying to take him down.

He has great TD defense and uses his length really well. His knees up the middle are a devastating counter threat to a shot. He is strong , technically sound, and has dangerous offence in the clinch so you can't cage ride him or chain TDs against fence.
It's not just about having goodTDD or being fast at getting up. His skillset nullifies some of the wrestling threats before the TD even happens

Eddie got ppv points.

246 was a shitty co-main. This isn’t. People will care about this fight anyway. And a boring decision against anyone is never good for a new fighter. But it’ll still move him up the ranks, while conor or dustin will move down.

Eddie got ppv points because he was the champion

 

[Willek]

Hooker's chin has to crack one day surely.

 

[empsim]

That's a good one.

Overall card still looking pretty weak though.

 

[TripTictonic]

Cool fight. I don’t think this is a good matchup for Chandler honestly. Especially a 3 rounder. I think Hooker’s size and reach will give him problems. Will be interesting to see if Chandler tries to wrestle.

 

[Shadey1]

I like this fight. Should be a fun back and forth scrap while it lasts. Got Hooker for the finish though

 

[mmadeewana]

if Chandler wins Him vs Olivera for LW belt.

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

Chandler by KO in 1

 

[clutchCAT420]

War Chandler

 

[usernamee]

Hooker is getting pounded out on the canvas

 

[JoeRoganPenn]

Right? If this isn't co-main then I'm anxiously waiting to find out what is.

Eye vs Calderwood ! Joking..

No but really, I guess that Undercard thing must be a typo

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

Awesome fight, i think Hooker has this but Chandler shouldn't be slept on

 

[JustBleed69]

Easy W for Hooker..one of the worst matchups for Chandler too.
