Man I’m so nervous for DP. Hooker is a big guy and is good technically so he will be a very tough challenge for Dustin Poirier. Still Dan needs to be humbled. Let’s go Poirier!
@@eternalnobody2561 Ngl I thought that fight was a draw. I thought that takedown at the end saved Hooker, but yeah it wasn't Hooker's most impressive fight.
@Jake Owens I think the only guy that Dustin has faced similar to Hooker is Max Holloway. Both are tall and both have a long reach, but I think Hooker is just a bit bigger than Max. On the flip side the guy that Hooker has faced similar to Dustin is Felder and most people thought Felder won that fight. It'll defiantly be interesting to see how Dustin handles Hooker.
@@eujoseafonso What are you basing this off? Burns was the exact same, he overextends and leaves his feet behind him and that matches up horribly against Hooker, he's still the exact same.
@@M-a-k-o khabib's style is a horrible matchup against Dustin poriers style same with mcgregor and gaethie. When will they release that khabib has to fight someone like Ferguson, Woodley, burns, usman, Covington or even gsp. Those fights realy would bring some interest unlike gaethie which only won because he was the better striker. Doesn't apply to khabib tho.
@@johnkhaw3213 dude ppl didnt start talking ab Dustin like a star until the two Conor fights last year. Ye he was big from the wars wit alvarez, gaethje and dan and some from the first conor fight but he jus started getting to star status
@Bo Mal Patriote MMA Fans nowadays see that when somebody is going to debut in the UFC they call him a Bum, a Nobody, that " nobody " can be a top contender or even the champion, Jon Jones, Ferguson,Dos Anjos, Volkanovski,etc. These guys don't have been always Stars since their debuts. Sorry for my english.
Khabib blocked Dustin's right leg , which prevented Dustin from being able to pull guard. That meant Khabib had space to move his hips to, which bought Khabib breathing room and ultimately led to the result that Dustin tired his arms out and Khabib's head therefore popping out. Still curious to find out how well Oliveira or Tony would do on the ground with Khabib, as these two are the only guys I give somewhat of a chance once Khabib succesfully completes the takedown. As far as Gaethje goes, he might give Khabib a hard time in taking him down, but once Khabib succesfully completes the takedown against Gaethje and comes out top in case of a possible scramble, then Gaethje doesn't have BJJ to save his life vs Khabib when Khabib is on top of him in control
You know who that is too right? That's Violent Bob Ross. That's why it's important to get sparring partners who can imitate a fighter and also imitate their mentality. That's why fighters get figured out after being in the public eye(champ) after a while. Weaknesses and habits get exposed.
@Abdul Rehman Funny how you have nothing to say about the content of the comment itself, because obviously you're a fanboy pretending to know anything about MMA, which is evident by your reply there. Instead of trying to make fun of someone who really cares about the details of the game, I suggest you should learn more about grappling too. Then you'd understand how dumb your comment really was to make
I don’t think hooker is going to be the lightweight to break into the top echelon of fighters I think he’s on the same level as cowboy and is better than most top 10 but not top 5
Yes but you can't tell because some fighters are getting better and better. He could come twice as good as against Felder but I think porier will beat hooker the late rounds.
"I'm gonna push hooker more than hes ever been pushed before". I don't think it's physically possible to push him more than what barboza and Felder did
Hooker starts strong then fades. Leaning towards Dustin over a 5 round war with dustin largely winning the later rounds. More well rounded as well if he decides to ground Hooker throughout the fight when possible
I have a lot of time for both of these guys. You always get your monies worth when either is fighting. This has the potential to be a classic! BRING IT!
Next time they fight Highlight Gaethje will wipe the floor with the Diamond. Ever since the Eagle had the Diamond weeping, he's never been the same again. My money is on the Hangman. Dustin's front leg will be chipped away with those low kicks.
@The MMA GURU Bloopers That's the point Guru. Since the Khabib whitewash he never fought again. Justin has improved a lot since 2018 see the dismantlement of El Cucuy this year.
there's not a single soul in this world that should not be a fan of Dustin Poirier, if you like MMA, he is the real meaning of a true warrior ... he comes back back everytime for more and ready for war
Dan Hooker proves that mma math doesn’t work like no other fighter. Hookers beats burns - burns fights for 170 title Barboza beats Hooker - barboza loses to ige Plus you’ve got the Felder situation. Go Hoooker!!! 😜
I give the edge to Dustin Poirier for his relentless speed and agression which has caused problems for many of his past opponents. The only way i can see Dan Hooker win this one is with timing since he is not as fast and that is something that Dustin needs to be more careful of when engaging with him. If not well guarded, Hooker could use that advantage to land a good clean shot, most likely a knee to the face which he has been known to do in his previous fights and that can be troublesome. But overall, Dustin has the advantage
Dustin tuned his ass up. Hooker had him hurt and kinda in trouble at the end of the 2nd round. But DP just too experienced, his boxing just too sound and crisp. Dustin has become one of the best strikers/boxers in the division if u ask me. Hes improved so much I think.
Porier all the way
