I love these fights without the crowd because you can hear everything in the octagon, all the contact and talking and movement that you miss with the crowd.

[@italianmiltyfriedman6264]

their is no reason for this fight to be 5 rounds, just for contender. its absurd to make these guys go through that kind of punishment. This fight took something from both of them. Along with the no restrictions on weight cuts, UFC is kind of out of control. Fighters have to be protected from themselves. As a former fighter im saying this. Dana is a shameless self promoter.

Esta fue una pelea brutal el propio hooker dijo que pensaba que se iba a morir

[@ax7carl]

Que tolerancia a los golpes tiene Hooker. Recuerdo cuando peleó con Yair Rodriguez, era muy estático ante los peleadores explosivos, aquí atacó y se defendió muy bien. Sin duda Poirier hizo demostración de todos sus recursos; intercambio golpes, metió codazos, defendió los derribos, grappling, boxeo, el cardio que trae le ayudó hasta el final, 10 de 10!

De acuerdo. Hoocker no fue el mismo después de esta guerra, pelear con Poirier 5 asaltos y una buena parte de pie y no se noqueado es de respetar. Poirier tiene cardio, pegada, mandíbula, es durísimo...

[@ScuffedLandlord]

​@@luiscarloslozadaelizalde2597 No that's just something people say. Hooker has only lost to the best. What, he's fallen off because he got chinned by Chandler and subbed by Islam? And with Arnold Allen, who is a good fighter, Dan hooker is huge for 155. He has no business at 145. He just beat Jalin Turner with one arm good arm and a broken one he received in round 1.

This fight changed Dan. He had this, the Edson Barboza fight, and Paul Felder, among others but they didn't do as much damage to him, in a span of 2 years. That's 3 wars in that time span then getting KO'd by Chandler, that's rough. It's good to see him climb back up the rankings now though. Dude is way too tough for his own good.
