Media Dan Hooker: Islam Makhachev 'not Superman', will get dominated

I'm hoping for a Hooker KO, but the reality is that Islam is going to sniff jocks for 3 rounds and win a boring decision, he's got to be one of the most boring fighters on the roster.
 
Dan Hardy's The War Room will analyze Islam be Dan in just under 2 hours on YouTube!

Can't wait for all the build-up in the upcoming week, including the Embedded episodes, media days etc
 
Ferguson was on 12 fight win streak that included RDA, Barboza, Lee, Cowboy and Pettis, but never got to fight for the real title before he aged out. Then Dariush got his top 5 ranking by laying on him for 15 minutes. He doesn't deserve shit. Let him fight the loser of Gaethje/Chandler.
Dude sidelined Ferguson worse than Gaethje and Oliveria. HE had the dominant performance against Ferguson.

Gaethje fought Ferguson for an interim title and got a undisputed title shot with a win.

Oliveria got a TS off a Ferguson win

But fuck Dariush right? Putting a guy in a heel hook and wrecking his knee is just "laying" on someone right?
 
If Islam beats Hooker he'll be on a 9 fight winning streak that includes Moises, Dober, Arman and Hooker.

The first two names we listed are the same but Arman & Hooker > CDF and the current version of Tony.

Dariush also gets rocked a lot in his fights, wasnt it Dober that almost had him KO'd. Islam hasn't lost a round in his last 8 fights
Islam and Dariush should be fighting for the next TS imo

Dariush is prelim filler.
 
Love his confidence!!

FFS he was close to taking the first 3 off DP. Now that that matters in this totally different matchup, but it does go to show how good he is.

Alas, let’s see how he is off his back lol

Dan's last fight was actually on the prelims (and not the feature prelim by the way)...Islam brought him back to a main card and with the respect Dan has gained from taking the fight he should continue as a main card fighter for the foreseeable future
