Hooker show's incredible heart and then makes these statements. Not saying he will ever be champ but yeah that's a champions mindset. I think a "little bitch" gives up instead of trying to keep fighting like he did.He briefly mentioned his previous fight against Barboza, the criticism he received, and why he shouldn’t have to explain his performance.
“It was what it was. There are two people I gave an explanation to in the entire world and that’s my mother and my wife. And besides that, I don’t feel like anyone else is entitled to a genuine explanation. The people that are close enough to me know that to me, it’s just water off a duck’s back. That by far is my first ass-whooping and I can guarantee you it’s not going to be the last one.”
“I thought I was being a little bitch on the night, I was having one of my softer days.”

Gotta agree with Dan here. Most Sherdoggers could have gutted it out to the end of round 3.

Barboza has that power in his strikes that can make guys freeze and lost focus.
You've gotta have "it" to beat him, or just getl lucky. You can be as technically sound as they come but part of being a great mma fighter is you have to be tough as nails
How was he being a little bitch...?
Vick is going to embarrass this tomato can and it's going to be glorious.Too tough for his own good.
Exciting fighter, young and hungry, he will get over the Barboza beatdown and be back better than ever.
Can't wait for him to smash Vick into the mud.
Hope the beating he took isn't one of those that changes a career
His gameplan was just off.
If you trade shots with Barboza at kicking range, you will get hurt for sure.
Needed to pressure. Its a known fact that Barboza lost to every pressure fighter he faced
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.If you don't pressure Barboza and let your hands go he will fuck you up. Not sure how fighters and their camps still don't realize that.

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.
