Dan Hooker post fight

[The Legendary Scarface]

He's a tough dude no doubt. Looked good early on but gassed after rd 2.
He gets hit wayyyy tooo much for a guy with his reach though.

 

[chitoortiz]

I don't like him at all.

But he's earned my hespect after last nights fight.

 

[whaleshark]

Way she goes

 

[Coolkid666]

Brain damage, gets dropped in his next fight

 

[SpiderCrawl]

He gets the right amount, he talks a lot of shit for a guy who is one loss away from double digits.

 

[Straatblaffer]

Objectively, islam deserves it much more than Lee or Dober ... And hooker already officially ducked him.

Why is Islam overhyped on Sherdog? I mean, he is defenitely not arguably better than Hooker..

 

[DeformedGravy]

I like Hooker, I thought he could beat Poirier. But between the Poirier/Felder/Barboza fights he has taken a ton of damage.

And in both the Poirier/Felder fights he shut down in the championship rounds. I think he has reached his peak.

Hooker would lose to Islam. Islam spars toe to toe with Khabib, has elite grappling, knockout power and the best striking defence and takedown accuracy in the UFC.

Got to respect and admire the guy but damn...he takes so much punishment and is probably not good enough to make life changing money.

I'm not sure why you would say that. Poirier is top of the food chain and Hooker looked essentially equal to him last night.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

At first I thought Hooker was a jerk and soft for a guy who talked a lot of smack. He proved me wrong, he took his L like a man and his chin is ridiculous, what a tough sob. From now on I will watch all of his fights.

Fakn hell

Dustin hit him with a mini sledge or whut?

 

[Voodoo Dahl]

that's one beat up hooker. Dustin is a pimp.

I love you.

 

[Judge Lance Ito]

I'd imagine hooker has a very working-class Auckland accent?

Could NZbros confirm same?

 

[Osiris3657]

Thank you doctor.

You're welcome prick.

 

[Stop Being Greedy]

That kind of heating is more than a minor setback.

 

[Kuggk]

You're welcome prick.

Relax Mr. Sensitive. You don't know if he will be okay. I was just having a bit of fun anyways. lol

Hooker never fought any wrestler, so we dont know how he deals with real takedowns, Islam is on a 6 fights winning streak, and all the top 10 fighters refuses to fight him ( hooker publicly refused btw ) for a reason ... the dude is good, how good ? only a fight against a top 10 fighter will tell us that.

If he fights like Khabib,it logical nobody wants him unless he's the champ. Its super fan unfriendly, so guys like Hooker (who want to have entertaining fights) will never take a guy like that.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Would be a great treat to have Chef Kevin Lee cook for you after a beatdown like that.

Give him Kevin Lee, for real!!

Speaking of Kevin Lee, fighter Kevin Lee lost 4 outta 6, I think he needs to fight someone 10-15

I think Lee takes Hooker down and dominates him.

lol hooker want to win most importantly ... and get the title, he knows a good wrestler would smash his kiwi face. This is MMA, how can u duck all the wrestler in ur division ? hopefully he fight gregor/islam/lee after.
