Dan Hooker: I was being a little bitch in the Edson Barboza fight

Didn't realize he was taking heat for that fight? Don't see why Barboza was in beast mode and the better fighter that night. None of that takes away the fact Dan Hooker is a damn good fighter...
 
War Dan Hooker that loss will only make him stronger.

His is gonna comatose James Vick

It's a bit more complicated than that. Dan Hooker used a ton of boxing in the first round and it didn't work. Melendez (before he looked like shit) pressured hard for three rounds and had no success. Darisuh pressured unbelievably hard and had success, but got KTFO within 7 minutes.

Pressure is the way to beat him, but it's not a guarantee. Just about everyone he fights at least tries to pressure him. Tony Ferguson is probably the best pressure fighter in MMA and look at the shots he had to eat to win.
Youre right.
 
hopefully it changes his career for the better. it seemed like part of his performance was was some need to show toughness or 'put on a show' instead of a smart game plan. excited to see his next fight though
It was like Dan wanted to stand and kickbox to prove a point but then by the time he realised he needed to pressure it was too late. He got chewed up baaad
