Does Dan Hooker Pull This off Against Gaethje or Does His Run End?

[Gabe]

As of right now there isn’t a single other upcoming fight that I’m more excited about than this one. Gaethje isn’t gonna think about a takedown and Hooker won’t be able to hold Gaethje down. This should be a pure stand up war until someone goes down. I favor Gaethje but this one’s close. I haven’t even checked to see who is favored, probably Justin slightly. Can Hooker make this four in a row?

I think hooker loses badly, he showed improved wrestling defense against gamrot but he was getting tagged in that fight and his defense looked as bad as ever. Gaethje is faster, hits harder, and arguably more skilled since he outstruck fiziev. I think gaethje just had a bad matchup against a fast elite striker like holloway who also broke justin's nose in round 1 disrupting his breathing for the rest of the fight

 

[Herwald]

MMA math says Gaethje will beat the shit out of Hooker. But Hooker seems to have a 2nd life in him while Gaethje's kinda reeking of retirement vibes.

 

[Dorkman]

Hard one to call. Normally i'd take gaethje all day. But Dan has found his confidence again, and Gaethje's last appearance was getting brutally finished. Which is hard to predict how someone comes back from that, especially where it's later in Justin's career after many many miles.

 

[Aurelian]

I think Prime Justin murders Dan but he's a 36 year old LW now and got rekt in his last fight and has been out for almost a year. I don't have much faith in Dan either at this point. I'm leaning like 55/45 Justin but nothing would surprise me here.

he only outstruck fiziev after rafael gassed. There are fundamental differences in skill between Fiziev and Gaethje, and Justin will never catch up there.

he was landing good shots early in round 2, I don't think fiziev gassed after 1 round, justin just adapted in round 2 and figured him out.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

I'm shocked he got through gamrot honestly. I guess we will see what Justin's got left because dan is gonna hit you

he was gassing by mid of 2nd round. Justin has good timing on his strikes and a ton of good experience. He can land almost on everyone, but skill for skill Fiziev is way ahead of him. Justin won that fight in the 3rd though, when Rafael was just gassed.

I don’t know but I like seeing Dan the can lose so that’s what I’m hoping for

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Justin’s got 1-2 more fights in him before he fights himself retarded & Hookers too dumb and tough that he’s probably got another 3-4 if he doesn’t take any more Barboza like assbeatings.
But I hope they KO each other and both double retire.

Whatever happens here’s to them turning in a bloody dance that I will forsure watch.

 

[volcom5]

The funny thing they tried with this Hooker many times, matching him up with fighters who many people considered out of their prime or washed, they did it with him and Barboza, Poirier and not with Gaethje, difference is I think Hooker has finally out everything together snd Gaethje has stop improving his skills or adapting it. Hooker got this imo.

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Justin should win comfortably I don't believe dan is on his level. Dan's lucky to even be here it was home cooking he got past gamrot.

Hooker gets hit and rocked A LOT, while Gaethje (still) seems to take shots pretty well.
This will be brutal.

 

[fortheo]

Hooker seems to be the fresher guy of the two. It's a close fight.

GAETHJE IS GOING DOWN!!!!!!!

Lying Dan gets hammered into dust

I was actually wondering what kind of lies he's gonna come up with, about Gaethje
He could say something negative about Justin being Mexican or not being a "real" Mexican?! Nobody ever does that and it's a good needling point for some folks.
Either way, JG wrecks this Pinche Mentiroso from pillar to post, Chicano style!!

 

[SamuraiBro]

I don’t want to see either guy get a title shot. Looking forward to the fight though. I think Gaethje by late stoppage.
