Crazy how Dan has finished gilbert burns, even Chimaev couldnt do that. One of the most disrespected LW’s ever. He was never the same after the war with porier though
2:02 Bruh...... i never seen so much disrespect in my life. My man Dan just both hands down just threw left hook body shot to left hook, While he just ate a right hand.
I briefly met Dan in Phuket, April 2016. Im 6,2ft, 88kg and we were almost the same size, he was prob more broader in the shoulders just a lil bit shorter. I couldnt believe he was cutting to FW. He was atleast 80-85kg at the time. Decent size WW in my opinion.
@jamesjohnson1167 Yeah bro so true. He's very rangey and has great hip mobility to throw those knees so easily. Super nice guy, he was with his mrs so I didn't want to hold him up.
This highlight reel needs to be updated before his next fight. Dan's 12-8 in the UFC now & 9-3 for finishes. The only fighters who are ready to go at UFC Perth are Beneil but Dan is only #11 while Beneil is #4 so that won't happen, and Jalin Turner who's #10 and so a more likely match-up for Dan. I'm rooting for Dan to win against either of them but I can't see that happening.
October 2024? Here after he beat Turner (with a broken arm and face), then Gamrot... Now in BMF discussions and possibly an opponent for Connor??!! So good to see him finally get his flowers. Dude is a maniac and animal, yet also the most down to earth dude in the sport
I like Hooker. He's 2-4 since 2020 but against Islam, Poirier, Chandler and Allen. Allen was a bit unexpected but u gotta give him credits for the tough fights he gets into
2:38 LOVE TO SEE IT. Vick getting fucked up as usual. it's funny he was such a dick to justin calling him punch drunk and shit, and getting K0'd. hes fun to dislike.
Unfortunately his last few fights didn´t do him good :( Maybe it´s time to think about how long he wants to keep going ... let´s see after this card if he has any spirit left in him!
It's wild to think he was about 5 seconds away from finishing Poirer. Saved by the bell
It takes two to tango
@@nathanmorales7346 if im not incorrect poirier himself said Hooker was about to T off on em if it weren’t for the bell
@@nathanmorales7346 def not outclassed wtf
Yeah. His wars with Felder and Poirier really took a lot out of him. He's never been the same since
He was robbed praying
For a Chandler ko this weekend 🙏
As a fellow New Zealander, I love Dan. Praying he walks away with the W this weekend 🙏
Never knew he beat Gilbert Burns very impressive
@@machetealvarez casual
@@therealshamx weenie
@@machetealvarez Back when Dan had a chin; Gilbert cracked him a few times.
@@machetealvarez Gilbert was very chinny at LW. That's why he moved up WW after
Im a fan of Hooker, but man he needs a win bad.
He's about to be in El Cucuey territory
@@jeremiahfreitag5242 hooker vs tony will be firw
@@manlet437 he will most like get kneebared to death yeas pulles is up and commind
@The Hard Stuff On paper it's a fight Dan should win ..But will see soon
There you go he got the win haha 🏆
that fake 3, 4 counter on vick was absolutely beautiful. they way he pulled that punch and vick just got caught sleeping
Yeah, its not that often you see someone fake the overhand right, and come with the left. Its a bit wild because your head is down and exposed.
@@manlet437 wait you never came back tho …….😂
@@manlet437 lmfaooo
Absolutely!! Not an easy thing to do, esp in the heat of battle.
Crazy how Dan has finished gilbert burns, even Chimaev couldnt do that. One of the most disrespected LW’s ever. He was never the same after the war with porier though
cus of the weight cut for burns
How is he disrespected?
@@shanemiller9544 burns standing there throwing with his chin up def had nothing to do with it 🤔 Burns learnt from this improved him for sure.
See I forget that fight with Porier . But I do remember Hooker vs Barboza . Hooker has fought some greats definitely a gritty dude
@@drbray weight cut bigger factor
Dan's resume slick underrated. He's put out some killers.
I like how Dan always puts out these super necessary punches...
not 1 walk off ko ...but they all could of been
🤣
Dan is one of my favorite fighters. I'm always going to want him to win. He's a great fighter and a good dude.
Could have easily finished Porier in round 2 if he had at least 10 more seconds on the clock. Would have turned the tide of UFC Lightweight history.
could have , should have, would have… now he is a journeyman who gets released after adding another loss tho his 50 Iosses
Facts porier ate about 7 fat hooks to the jaw and 2 knees. Completely saved by the horn it was crazy
@@beauaIoevv shouldn't you be at work or something dude get off RUclips
@@pipedup he lives on this page
He's got one of the best step-in knees in the game. Hopefully he has a good showing Saturday.
Wishing Dan the best great guy tough as nails!!
2:02 Bruh...... i never seen so much disrespect in my life. My man Dan just both hands down just threw left hook body shot to left hook, While he just ate a right hand.
Dan is an amazing fighter, still have time and quality to compete in the top 10, maybe more.
Definitely not amazing....save that word for the great of the sport.
@@dr.loomis4221 shut up dude
When he finished Pearson with that knee in Auckland, NZ. The place got so loud my ears were ringing when it settled down.
Nothing but love and respect for the hangman
His knee KOs didnt need to be followed up will anything, but the refs are so slow to react he has to walk up and drill them again.
Dude has a win over Gilbert Burns. Crazy game man.
We're all rooting for you, Hooker! Go get this win!
Such a talented fighter. So versatile in how he finishes his opponents.
Hangman’s got the best follow up shots man.
COME ON DAN THE HANGMAN HOOKER YOU'VE GOT IT BROTHER... YOU KNOW YOU'RE THE BEST... GET IT DONE SON...
Its crazy that Dan Hooker beat Gilbert Burbs more decisively than Khamzat did
I briefly met Dan in Phuket, April 2016. Im 6,2ft, 88kg and we were almost the same size, he was prob more broader in the shoulders just a lil bit shorter. I couldnt believe he was cutting to FW. He was atleast 80-85kg at the time. Decent size WW in my opinion.
He would still have a great reach at 75 compared to we usually being 73 ish
His reach on 155 is usually 4-6 inches and he’s a massive Feather
@jamesjohnson1167 Yeah bro so true. He's very rangey and has great hip mobility to throw those knees so easily. Super nice guy, he was with his mrs so I didn't want to hold him up.
The Hangman!
Love it mate 👌
Legend of the sport
Hands Down the James Vick KO is the most impressive on his resume.
James the goat
@@mountainmanking4712 my favorite knocked out artist
@@danny4081 man had a one of a kind chin
Not really who hasn't knocked out Vick? 😂
Never the same after dustin but i still hope he gets the w in his next fight,such a good dude
Why remake this video I don’t think he’s added a finish since the last one was made
This is the last tym we will see Dan Hooker inside the octagon!
This highlight reel needs to be updated before his next fight. Dan's 12-8 in the UFC now & 9-3 for finishes.

I wonder what happened to him after the Dustin fight! Dude was never the same again
Dan ''passport to the ranking'' Hooker. I hope he wins but ...
I hope he wins this weekend and hopefully he will fight fiziev next
Hopefully he gets a W
Y’ALL MUST’VE FORGOT
Long time ago..
One of the most nasty knockout followups in UFC by this fellow…
Say what you will about his performances of late, but that man's in there for nuclear war every single fight
Yup he was in wars with Micheal chandler and Islam. Really had me on the edge of my seat.
@@taylor775913 someone is salty
He’s been on a slump let’s see if he can pull off a victory here.
I still can’t believe Burns got dominated by Hooker in that entire fight😂
Welterweight is pretty shit compared to lightweight burns isn’t all that good
@@Realhater1352 you’re nuts
And then Yair Rodriguez dominated Hooker. MMA math at its finest.
The rise of Dan was amazing . The fall has been sad to see.
October 2024?
Here after he beat Turner (with a broken arm and face), then Gamrot... Now in BMF discussions and possibly an opponent for Connor??!! So good to see him finally get his flowers. Dude is a maniac and animal, yet also the most down to earth dude in the sport
really hoping he can pull off the w
Seeing him on the pads on imbedded, I'm afraid he's going to be somebody else's highlight.
No need to he afraid now
@@drbray thank the Lord
Good fighter. Reminds me of Cerrone.
Dan vs Justin G
I like dan a lot, but that dustin fight injured him in ways I'm not sure he can recover from. hope he gets the w this weekend
Never seen that fight of him knocking out burns 😮 khamazat couldn’t 😮😮
Well Gilbert came a long way from fighting lightweight to now in welterweight. so Gilbert definitely improved a bit
Crazy how islam made him look like a bum
The hangman is back baby ➰
The guy fighting Dan Hooker first needs to go play the role of crazy gangster in Key and Peele. ( Richard Cabral) he really looks like him lol
Damn! I forgot about burns and hooker fighting
I didn't realize hooker's been around so long that kenny florian was doing commentary and john anik had hair
Bro needs a win badly
trying to be Cowboy 2.0 hurt Dan's record and momentum big time, but the dude is a solid fighter
finishes that long gone...
Puelles will submit him...
I like Hooker. He's 2-4 since 2020 but against Islam, Poirier, Chandler and Allen. Allen was a bit unexpected but u gotta give him credits for the tough fights he gets into
i think he should move up a weight and smoke burns again
Let's fucking go Hangman! Most game guy on the roster!
Dan is going to get submitted in Rd. 1 or 2
Who hasn’t knocked Vick out
😂
2:33 MINK MINK MINK
Better show best Finishes against him 🙈 hope, he can get back on track
Hurry up and post the embedded
Poor Vick when he gets knocked out he gets knocked the fuck out 😂
2:38 LOVE TO SEE IT. Vick getting fucked up as usual. it's funny he was such a dick to justin calling him punch drunk and shit, and getting K0'd. hes fun to dislike.
4 losses in his last 5 😭😂 They trynna gas him up
dan been in wars he needs a win bad hes been finished pretty badly
usually it’s the opposite where Dan gets ko’d / choked out in the first round…
Who else is here after Israel Adesanya and Drake Du Plessis press conference
He will reing in this division
The lunging feint for the last highlight was fucking immaculate
Come on dannn
Should've showed the Felder fight?!?!?!!?!
Oh I thought this was gonna be a video of his recent fights
Even if he in a losing streak he lost to potential champions
He’ll retire if he loses this fight
Oh I thought this was 3 of his last 4. Different video I guess.
Right knee and left hand… worked for a bit but keeps losing hope he switches his game plan up and can win
awh waddup Cameron Hooker
C'mon Dan
We love Dan but there's no way he deserves a main card spot over Dominick Reyes. Before you all get offended, this isn't about hate, but fairness.
I’m starting to feel for Vick’s brain at this point. He’s been on the wrong side of too many highlight reels 🫥
dan has won 1 fight in the past 2 years
My goodness our champion Islam finish this man with seconds....!
Let's go Hooker🔥
Unfortunately his last few fights didn´t do him good :( Maybe it´s time to think about how long he wants to keep going ... let´s see after this card if he has any spirit left in him!
When you don't want to pay to use Eminem's "Lose Yourself"
Thought it was a compilation of him getting knocked out lol
What happened to him
There are much better fights than this that should have been on the main card.
He going to get KO again.
I wish the Poirer fight never happened, I think Dan took too much from that fight that couldn't just be easily healed.
Vick's out? You don't say...
wow
He almost finish Poirier, but Bell stoped it
You need comeback boy
Gilbert Burns should be out of ranking~~~~ so easy to get hit
his more powerful than conor or close than heme in nocout power
Ufc being a Bro lmao
