@@FollowerOfChrist144 No. They're 185 walking around, but they definitely aren't middleweights who walk around 205-225. Hooker is at most a welterweight.
@Starving Pupil Yea he looked like trash. In context, Hooker already struggles to make 155 being one of the bigger LWs, and made what everyone knew was a horrible decision dropping to 145, and as usual not using his reach and leg reach advantage. The man is literary taller and bigger than most people he fights and trains at CKB but refuses to use his lenght lol. And he fought Islam on a months notice after scrapping with Nasrat, and having to fly out to Abu Dhabi, and make weight all over again. And Islam makes everyone look foolish (except Armin), especially if it's short notice against guys who have to cut weight twice in qucik succession. He looked trash, cause he had trash circumstances. Not saying he's perfect, but he is a genuine top 10 UFC LW
Watch carefully before you comment, this is like a perseverance or endurance training spar for Adesanya, training how to take hit and survive it. It's clear most fans of combat sports don't even know much about any of the arts at all. They just watch and pass blind judgemental comments
Lots of fighters look better in sparring or on the pads, where they’re relaxed, training in the same environment everyday. But when you’re under the lights and you have a set amount of time to win each round, it’s easy to tense up. This is pretty normal
Because he's training you idiot, he doesn't have to win here. You all forget HE'S THE CHAMP, it's the challengers job to TAKE that belt. He isn't going to just hand it over numbnut.
As a fighter he needs reminded what it's like to get punched in the face and function, that's what hard sparring is, conditioning. Great vid, hookers a beast
@@jelorer definitely an elite fighter. Just maybe not a real title contender in any ufc weightclass. But you can’t say he isn’t elite when he’s been in the cage with guys like Dustin Poirer, Gilbert Burns, Paul Felder, Edson Barbosa, and Michael chandler.
It looks like Dan loaned Adesanya some money, but Izzy didn't pay it back and Dan now has the perfect time to get revenge, he hates it like he wants his money back. 😅😅😅
When your mom goes to the shop and leaves you alone with your little brother...
Youngest of 5 boys . This comment is hilarious.
😂
😂😂🤣
OMG SO TRUE 💀💀💀
Head scratching is their special technique 🤣
Hooker is enjoying that more than he’s supposed to
@anonymlulz8273 you have something against us blacks?
you silenced him @@kenkobe
He’s putting himself in these positions cause in a fight anything can happen & being about to scramble helps a lot
Yesh
Drills.
Y no mouthguard tho lol
Mansplaning to a bunch of men... 😂😂😂😂😂😂 🤡
@@eazybreezyego outside
i love how intense yet controlled their punches are
You 100% know if MMA and boxing didn't exist he'd be out in the woods beating people to death whilst laughing his head off.
@@Tom-oh2yfaha yea a lot of these ppl are psycho. Good thing we got combat sports to keep them at bay
no hard feelings afterwards. love that stuff
Thats crazy. Makes it more real for the real fight
I'm sure Dan just likes hurting people 😂
funny you say that he is known as the "psychopath" in the gym
Real talk
Outside the cage yeah
Yea? Well in the real fights he’s weak and gets wrecked
@@user-dv4pz7qj7x he'd knock you out with a single punch idiot
Hooker taking out his ufc streak frustration
Another one of those legendary relationships in MMA
I miss lightweight Dan Hooker a lot.
Hooker had no business being at145🤦🏿♂️
A lot of these guys making 145-55 are easily 185ers
His good ground and pound but not better then Israel in stand up I’ve seen him corner hooker
@@FollowerOfChrist144 no, they're not
@@FollowerOfChrist144 name one 45er that's an 'easy 185er' usually one weight class up sometimes even 2, but 3 ? And easy ? Nah man.
@@FollowerOfChrist144 No. They're 185 walking around, but they definitely aren't middleweights who walk around 205-225. Hooker is at most a welterweight.
Imagine getting the chance to beat him up without getting hit back 😂
True. Izzy was training for possible situations if he were to be down and get back up for it like when he was down and got up from Strickland
Getting lumped up during training is real af. His career's having a hard time right now but his talent is what legends are made of fr 💯
"You can't do sh*t"😂😂😂
We need this man back in the octagon
Good trust, good teamwork. Two guys bringing out the best in eachother.
Dan got that kiwi spirit all day!
❤❤
🇳🇿🤘
That's Izzy not a sheep
This is y Sparring is important,sean gave em major flashbacks
Izzy with the 4 oz😂😂
"Dan's a psychopath"
Dan might be the biggest Weight bully that noone talks about
Atleast he can make the weight unlike turner
Brothers for life 🤜🤛
Adesanya is this Monster🤯
Frl
Finally where Hooker looks good..
if you actually watch his fights... you'd see him "look good"
@@tumimbasa1705 hes just one of those weird guys that judges a dude purely off wins and losses.

But what ABOUT DAN PUSHING ADENSANYA WITH SEEMS LIKE PROVOKING GESTURE?? JUST ASKING
@@williamcolumbres9997 welcome to nz
@@williamcolumbres9997little bit late but its just to provide extra motivation in training, its smiles and hugs as soon as the bell rings for them
Notice their mad but not actually hurting each other that’s a great sparring partner
They’re not mad. It’s a friendly competition between training partners. Both are striking but don’t wanna hurt each other.
It’s amazing Izzy (185) fights 2 weight classes - and at times 3 - above Hooker (145/155)
Did you see the way Dan HOOKER?!
Good energy good sparring good men
But it's not sparring it's pressure drills
Where's all that in his fights😂
Rob's jaw..and
GASTELUM'S Cranium beg to differ.

@@peacebalancetruth I'm taking about hooker

Awesome training
Hooker is a menace 😂
This is how you train when you want to get better hangman
I'm sure he really appreciates advice from the likes of you 😂
The light sparring😂
This isn't sparring this is physical assault 😅😅
They look like they are having fun tbh
Why is this better than his actual fights?

Dan somehow looks like DDP 😂😂
These niggas are crazy!!! I love it !
That’s putting yourself in the fire. That’s why we call him Champ.
Lol why he can’t he do this in any of his fights. Dude was screaming loud af when Islam caught him lol
I hope Dan can pull off some wins I’m his next fights. Hate seeing him down bad.
Hooker looks almost big as issy he is natural welterweight
Would be cool to see dan jump to middleweight i think he would have a lot of success there
Haha he definitely wouldn't.
@@sukhdevr3489 okay and why do you think that he hits hard and will have range on most fighters and i think he could get the better of izzy
@@xenviperz3647 He's a lightweight size fighter. He'd be so fat at MW or it'll take like 2 years to build all of the muscle needed for that.
Nah bro enjoying himself a little too much😂
Dan pissed him off and embarrassed him there. With the sweetest and most helpful intentions … “I love you 👊WHACK, I love you 👊 WHACK”
Don’t mess with stylebenders master
Daaaaang dan I wonder what you and Sean strickland sparring would look like lol 😂😂
Men being men 💯
Si Dan Hooker peleará así, estaría mucho mejor en el ranking 💪🏼
I love Izzy
the sparring is hundreds of times more exciting than his fights
This is wrong for both fighters.
They are getting in some good work.
Dan wanted all the smoke that day🤣🤣🤣
Dan loves a bit of pain 😆
It’s called sparring man has a fight soon and u punching him hard bro lmao
As a fighter he needs reminded what it's like to get punched in the face and function, that's what hard sparring is, conditioning. Great vid, hookers a beast
Idk seeing as there’s no context this could just be a hard sparring session
Good sparing
Человек готовит себе тяжёлыми ударами Вот это Champion после этого тренировка никто не сумеет его вырубить
their Sparring session can make regular guy go to hospital
Izzy looks huge
ESPN SNIPED THIS FROM IZZY'S CHANNEL..🤔
GOOD ON YA MATES!!😏🤙
lol izzy should copyright em and get their channel taken down. would be mad funny.
@@jelorer 😊Word up.🤝
like this to bring this higher!
Just sparring with these dudes must be beyond brutal. Imagine actually FIGHTING them for real!!
Dan needs to relax 😂 he’s not holding back
Izzy calling out Strickland for sparring hard 😂 oh nooooo
this isn’t hard sparring this is a drill
Geez, no wonder they’re a team of champions!
the fact that they don’t get brain damage from this boggles my mind.
Bruh..this is a full on ufc fight
Stewey griffin: "wheres my money, Brian?"
Dan hooker is a beast
So this is why he didn’t get finished by Strickland in the 1st lmao
Dan making 145 and 155 is crazy af wish he would fight at welterweight
Training with the enemies
When Dan Hooker does what his name says and just continues giving you hooks!! 😅
Dan should move up to 170
idk. think he has problems with the top 5 there too. hes just not quite an elite fighter.
@@jelorer definitely an elite fighter. Just maybe not a real title contender in any ufc weightclass. But you can’t say he isn’t elite when he’s been in the cage with guys like Dustin Poirer, Gilbert Burns, Paul Felder, Edson Barbosa, and Michael chandler.
@@jelorer yea but if you look at him when he’s not cutting he’s huge easily walks around at 175-180 witch is crazy that he was fighting at 45
That’s what I’m saying, maybe the weight cut is affecting him now.. he looks huge here, the same size as Izzy.
@@JuknoSnazzlestick nah. hes 200 max. its still a relatively easy weight cut compared to some of his peers. rob whittaker cuts mroe weight.
I love the intensity
Your not doing that with Colby or Khamzat don’t even train for it
Iron sharpens iron, bushido code with abit of banter no dramas 😅😅
Iron sharpens Iron
Nah Dan's just a nutter 😂
He’s sparring against a featherweight
That’s not sparring, they’re drilling
I know Izzy getting A LOT of hate right now but all the antics aside he is a great fighter & very technical people just don’t like his personality
Free CTE training, you can train the position without having to get your face bashed in.
Don’t worry about it. I think if they needed your expertise they would’ve hired you.
@@asfantom They needed, but they'll know once Izzy gets KOed by the same guy who KOed him before, better be preparing that oxygen tank.
@@josemarialaguinge credit is due you were right lmao
@@josemarialaguinge he didn’t get koed lmao he was still on his feet
@@NickErrrr tko not ko izzy was on his feet
Best of friends
No matter with who Hocker sparing, when he comes in octegan, he can't handle top 10 fighter and he going beating every time with boxing
Hooker has beat Top 10 fighters?
Dan is so fkn huge for a lightweight, how did this guy even make 145?.
LOL the background music. The person behind these shorts is such a troll
I love Israel
Hooker should’ve never been at 145, that’s crazy
It looks like Dan loaned Adesanya some money, but Izzy didn't pay it back and Dan now has the perfect time to get revenge, he hates it like he wants his money back. 😅😅😅
Iffy wishing he had those brass knuckles back.
He train for takedown defence and covering to stand up
Whats the song in the beginning
True brothers
One has big gloves. the other has small gloves
Izzy dont wanna hurt his teammates. Izzy always protecting his little brother's.
"Vettori is the real champ "

:D
Это наверна лучшая тренировка которую я посмотрел !
Not sparring, its a ground & pound drill
