Dan Hooker Biting Off More than He Can Chew!

[JoeRowe]

he did not beat Felder. Did you watch the fight ?

I watched Hooker outland Felder in the 1st, 3rd, & 5th. 2nd was basically even. Felder clearly won the 4th, maybe the 2nd.

 

[JoeRowe]

I feel like you guys are tripping, Hooker is probably the toughest guy in that division. His fight vs Dustin should have been a draw, there were no losers that night, Dustin ko’d Conor but just couldn’t against Hooker. Most of Hooker’s fights have been like that. Chandler hits like a Chimpanzee and he thought a takedown was coming. Otherwise, Hooker has been rock solid, he really should be more respected the guy has mad heart and has to go through all that COVID bullshit EVERY SINGLE FIGHT. That’s not just professionalism, that’s true love for battle.
If Conor comes back, give him Dan Hooker.

Hooker also didn't have his coach with him for the trip to fight island. And he came up with the dumbest gameplan possible.

Hooker gasses out and panic wrestles by round 3. What will he do when he gasses against Arman? He won't have the option to panic wrestle.

That's assuming he even makes it past a few rounds against Arman. As we've already seen Dan is shook when facing a TD threat so he likely gets KO'd early.

As for his fight with Dustin - Dustin was coming off a hip surgery and started off slow. Everyone could see he wasn't his usual self for the first few rounds.

I don't think Islam is anywhere near Khabib's level. That's not a knock on Islam. That's just how damn good Khabib was.

I have heard they are very close in terms of levels - i.e. see the Luke article the other day. I do agree that Khabib is likely better, but Islam appears to be the closest to that. Khabib just mauled Poirier and Gaethje - they had zilch. Arman had a very compelling fight vs Islam as a short notice replacement. I am very impressed by him.

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

He beat Yaquinta & Felder, also was up against Poirier 29-28 after 3 rounds. But those guys are scrubs I guess.

He did not beat felder, or Al, those judges gave him a hometown score

 

[SherDoggyDogg]

Hooker demolishes both Arman & Islam with ease.

 

[SherDoggyDogg]

I don't think Islam is anywhere near Khabib's level. That's not a knock on Islam. That's just how damn good Khabib was.

He's Khabib with a James Vick chin

Hooker has been talking a lot but hasnt done anything since he got starched by Chandler.

Get a fight bro, the LW division is moving on.

lol what sort of dribbling moron are you

hasn't done a lot? he hasn't fought since then idiot. And hes itching to fight thats why hes trading a top 10 place for someone not even ranked and flying in on probably the most insane schedule ever.

You're probably the same sort of retard that posts the "X fighter hasn't won in 3 years" - when that fighter hasn't fought in 3 years

unless your'e trolling, well played

 

[Coolkid666]

So this guy is suddenly the new GOAT huh

 

[Doughie99]

Spectacular 1st round KO by Arman!

Dan must be regretting claiming that he'd fight Arman...it'll be hard for Dan to duck now that Arman called him out in his octagon interview!

I'll give Dan Hooker this : he doesn't back down from anyone. If he said he'll fight the guy, then he will.

 

[FloydMayweatherMMA]

Hooker gets the push because he trains with Izzy. Tough as nails but for me, he's a fringe top 15 lightweight at best.

Yeah, he backs down until he realizes he has no other options available...then he becomes willing

 

[bambammccoy]

Has Hooker actually done anything besides beating Gilbert Burns at 155?

Schooling Al Iaquinta and going life and death with arguably the best fighter in the deepest weightclass in Porier.

Plus every single LW fight he has had has been fireworks. That's 10 consecutive very entertaining fights which is crazy to think about.

 

[Johnny_Knuckles]

Arman destroys Islam in a rematch

Are you retarded?

I said he hasn't done anything since losing to Chandler.

All hes done is talk shit.

Hooker gets his ass kicked in big fights always.

Hes calling out guys he has no business fighting.

You are a massive idiot.

went life and death with Felder

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

went life and death with Felder

Felder should have won that one too.

 

[HHJ]

Hooker haters blow cows for a living.

This is just ackmed being the new TheSpider.
