Who have you guys got for this fight?

I was very impressed with Hookers performance against Ross Pearson.

Set up the knee K.O. beautifully.

I still have Diakiese on this one, freakishly talented. That side kick switch to spinning heel hook kick is a thing of beauty. He is also a better wrestler and a purple belt to Hooker's blue... also at the much better camp at ATT.

Still, two very good young fighters, I'm looking forward to this fight.

Really excited to see if Diakiese can get into contention in the next 3 years, good prospect.

I think Diakiese will pick up that Hooker and take him down and ride him from behind all night long.
 
Leaning toward Diakase but either guy winning in violent fashion would not surprise me. Should be a fun fight.

You mean Ross Pearson? He never fought Miller... As for this fight, It's a pick em fight. At glance though Hooker seems more accomplished. MD has brutally murked people, but who are they?
 
Anyone picking hooker is

Trump you got this one bro?

Did you just call this a pick em?
 
I think hooker is more well rounded and has the better grappling, his striking is smooth n technical and can catch the shorter Marc with a headkick or knee, plus his chin is granite, he's not getting koed here.
 
Its definitely not a pick em, Diakese is a decent favourite for a reason.

Better grappling? I don't know, Diakesie is definitely a better wrestler and he's a purple belt at ATT.. Dan is a blue belt at Tiger and a camp in NZ.

He's displayed some good grappling in his career before the UFC. More so than Hooker.

I agree though that Hooker's striking has improved a lot. His low kicks are quick and effective which plagued Diakiese in his last fight.
 
diakese lost to that bum drakkar klose or whatever his name is

dudes overrated

Whoops, that's who I meant, for whatever reason I always get their names mixed up.
 
Hooker has fought the better comp and looks to be improving. Wouldn’t be surprised to see an upset here.

Comparing there belts don't mean much to me sorry, Marc might have the wrestling but I give the bjj edge to hooker. Yeah hookers always been dangerous on the feet, it's an intriguing match up, can't wait to see what happens
 
I'm heavily on Marc and I actually want a reason why people are on hooker

I think Marc can not only outstrike but I think he can put grapple aswell
Marc hasn't beaten anyone relevant, hooker has proven himself multiple times he can Ko world class fighters. Hooker walks though Marc on the feet, taps him out on the ground
