Hakeem Dawodu Hype Dead?

[USA!USA!]

I see Dawodu is getting another chance after that terrible initial fight against Danny Henry.

Is the hype dead on this guy already?

I figure he SHOULD beat Arnett without too much trouble, but man he looked lost in that first UFC fight. Maybe fighting in his country and city should help him.. he was supposed to be a rising star.

What hype

What hype

He was pretty hyped going into his first fight as a big prospect after his run in WSOF.

I never saw any hype

He can put on a mean face, I'll give him that.

Really? Most MMA journalists I've seen said his potential is to make it to the top-5 in the UFC.

I only heard he was a good prospect but nothing else.

Honestly, and nothing against him but...

Hakeem Dawho?

You've never heard of The Who?

Hakeem Dawho?

Put some speck on that name. He's the next Nigerian Nightmare.

A 0:39 second submission loss in your debut will do that.

That was a rough debut but on sherdog you’re only as good as your last fight. If he wins impressively this time around folks will be back on!

True, but the only name I knew from that run was Siler.

Part of me senses a Pali Abedi style muscle-lusting hype job with the guy.

I do hope he finds his footing in the UFC cause he’s pretty exciting to watch

Agreed - pretty much everyone I've seen making picks has him beating Arnett with ease. Not sure what to expect but I definitely favor the guy - Arnett hasn't shown anything in his fights either.

He's an SBG guy, no?
