The case of Dan Hooker, how can someone like him be top fighter when...

[true_fan]

He can’t even last a round with Islam, not even a round? I understand there are levels to this but if u call yourself an MMA fighter, then you should be versatile in striking and grappling to say the least.
So did MMA evolve really?

He's overrated and I dont know why. He's a very good fighter but not too 10 imo. Maybe 11-15. You also suck as a poster.

you don’t know shit

 

[Shaddows]

you do know he took this fight in short notice, right?
meaning he was not at his peak, and got caught.
It happens.

How can someone like Islam be a top fighter when he can't even last a round with Adriano Martins. Basic striking

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Who said he was a top fighter? He got his high ranking by beating Felder, and has lost every fight since. He’s down to rank 8. That is not the ranking of what I would seriously consider as a “top fighter”.

Should be training grappling at age 4 to be on that level.

Wouldn’t have been different if he had a 6 month camp

I by no means am shitting on Dan but his biggest claim for being in the top 10 is legit being competitive in losses.

I understand but not even 1 round as a pro fighter is really unacceptable

Burns knockout aged well ….I’m not trying to shit on him either ….Felder being overrated caused some of this as well imo

Aldo lasted 13 seconds against Conor …..Does that mean he sucks and should’ve retired

 

[Shaddows]

you can't really prove that though... so let us stick with the facts until they rematch (with both having full camps)

Like I mentioned before a concussion u cannot train for but grappling?
