Dan Hooker commitment to UFC 266

[Crusader07]

Queensland, Australia. Crowd 40,000. All Blacks vs Argentina next. Imagine that.. NZ sports people able to travel out of NZ. You wouldn't think that was possible... according to some members in here.

i really hope if Hooker misses weight he is not fined or just bump them up a division already.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Dan Hooker is a fucking animal, all the respect in the world to that dude.

I think the UFC wouldnt do that,they got to appreciate this man's sacrifices to headline or co headline all these covid era cards. They would look SUPER SHITTY if they did that.

 

[Crusader07]

I'm not sure if Dan will care either way. He'll be there to fight. No doubt he'll want to make up for his last performance.

 

[Crusader07]

The amount of people rattled in this thread lol. COVID has killed your soulless countries.

Nah, we're just tired of your equally clueless country men being in our country preaching their bs. They can save their 'stealing our freedoms' protests for their own country.

He’s made a Sherdog account, on a weekend, just to try and stand up and defend his country.

You keep doing as your told and you’ll be safe mate. Nobody will hurt you.

 

[Crusader07]

A DC head shake is your comeback? Hardly a surprise.

Oh and I am safe and free to do whatever I want.. just like I've been told There's no lockdown here mate.

 

[Ace70 V2]

He either needs money or really loves fighting. But fuck man, he's putting himself under undesirable strain to make it happen. But if he wins, holy fuck is that a big feather in his cap.

 

[chs140]

You would be surprised
They more than likely were (or at least very close)

You are not a smart person.

So here in NZ we are in lockdown because of another covid outbreak
A couple of weeks ago Dan's training camp got broken up because they where breaking lockdown rules.
Since then hes been training by himself at home. Not the greatest prep for a fight that he really needs to win to get back into the mix.

Also because of covid, its been super hard to get a Visa. Last night weren't even sure Dan could make it over. Would actually have been a blessing in disguise if he couldn't as his fight prep hasn't been the best obviously.

However this morning with Visa approved, he announced a fn crazy timeline he is on to ensure he makes this fight.

- Fly out Thursday night (cut weight on the plane)
- Arrive Vegas Friday morning and weigh in
- Fight Saturday

New Zealand to Vega is a 16 hour flight and a NZ is on a 19 hour time difference.

So yeah, he's gonna be up against it.

Didn't you guys shut down after like 1 case?

Replace all the covids you said with government. They are to blame for all you’re going through not covid

We killed far more and impoverished far more with our government mandates and lockdowns than covid ever could have. People look at you and say you lack empathy while actively advocating for policies that sent 150m into extreme poverty.

 

[Oceanmachine]

I'm sure they play the number of Corona cases down a bit (like most countries do) but its close
The number of the death casualties is most likely real

And i agree with you that a strict lock down (specially early on) would've made thing much more under control
Although as we are seeing right now, this is one hell of a tenacious virus, the vaccines are clearly not very effecient (they still help, just far from optimal) and its not clear how this will look when compared with other methods in the long run

Wow you are delusional. There is so much evidence of the chinese lying

They literally jail anyone in their country who shows evidencr contrary to what the State propaganda says

very soon many who were for lockdowns will be moaning about their economies plummeting for some mythical reason

 

[JosephTessaro]

Virus dont just disappear after 2-3 weeks. Y'all need a proper lockdown for a year or more. Sorry businesses. But the govt fucked up and now are punishing ppl with these rushed vaccines and limiting people to use certain establishments. It is what it is, I care about my health so I won't inject myself with something without long term studies, hell it can make you dumber for crise sake, and I actually believe it made a lot of ppl dumber that took it.

All I was trying to say is everyone, all countries need to do the same thing for a while in order to defeat it. I think a year is stretching it...if they make someone quarantine for 2 weeks then make everyone stay at home with no contact with others for a month.

The vaccine isn't brand new...they have vaccines for SARS viruses, they simple tweaked and existing one for COVID 19. the 19 is how many viruses they know about.

Actually ran into one of those this morning.
It's mind boggling how blissfully unaware the general public is.

 

[Haloom]

They have already publicly given up on vaccines stopping transmission of covid. Now they just prevent serious cases. This shit is endemic now.. Not sure what Australia/NZ are waiting for

Australia is waiting for 80% plus of the population to be vaccinated so that our hospitals don't get overwhelmed and we don't see the kinds of death rates that the US, England, Italy, Brazil, and India saw during their first waves.

Sounds like a television ad.

 

[Dorkman]

I'd be kind of worried if I was his opponent. Like is he even going to make it to the venue in time to weight in and fight cutting it that close? One little hiccup in the planned travel schedule and fights off basically.

 

[Ackmed]

Good on Dan for trying to save the prelims card (not the feature prelim, by the way)
