Rumored You're all wrong and Hooker's gonna SMOKE Arman

Yep you heard it here first, and I get it, we're still basking in the dominance of a Russian over someone from down under and still remember what that same i.v. using Russian did to Hooker

BUT

Arman isn't Islam, he's not even close

In the last 5 years;

Islam finished everyone except for Volk and JDM

Arman went to 5 decisions including against Aubin-Mercier, Davi Ramos and Ismagulov

Arman was mounted within a minute against Oliviera and spent the end of the third in a darce - that split decision could've gone either way

He got outgrappled and decisioned by Gamrot- Islam would run through him

Hooker took a leap between the Turner and Gamrot fight and had the perfect anti-grappling stand-up gameplan to win

Hookers counters were slick and he's gonna land over Arman's iddy biddy T-rex arms at will when he slows down as he ALWAYS does from the 3rd round onwards because the only 5 round fight he's ever had he lost. His teeny little busted spine will be the excuse

I'll be here READY and WAITING to eat crow if I'm wrong as my biased ass was with Whittaker and JDM

I'll even trade in my Sherdog purple belt that took me 20 years to get

FIRE AWAY C*NTS

I want to see Ilia against a wrestler better than Bruce Mitchell, so hopefully you're wrong
 
Armen doesn't present the same submission threat as Islam and Hooker's had some time to improve his grappling since the Makhachev loss, as he showed in the Gamrot fight.

I think this will be more competitive than Makhachev v. Hooker was but I still expect Armen to dominate him on the ground.

That said, if the rumors about Armen's back are true, Hooker could very well pull off an upset.
 
Would be great to see Hooker smoke Arman. I'm not convinced but it would be a welcome surprise.
 
I just remember what Arman did to Joel Alvarez, very similar fighter to Hooker in size and style.

Hooker is going to get taken down and absolutely smashed on the bottom. Maybe he can time an early knee or uppercut and flatline Arman, but if not this is going to be a brutally savage mauling.
 
Outside of a puncher's chance, I can't see it happening. Fun fighter, yes. Maybe not the best fight IQ in the business.
