The reactions from the crowd showing their respect for Felder after the decision felt as real as it gets. Breathtaking
Martin Bence boo them
A lot of Aus Nz fans are fans of the sport first because there wasn't many home grown fighters. I was at the first Brisbane fight night when Rua beat local Te Huna and the amount of respect shown before and after the fight was awesome. Something not all countries do so it stood out.
If it was Brazil they'd be chanting for him to die.
I was there tonight. We only boo'd Felder for our boy Hooker. We all love Felder. Cheered him after the weigh ins and after such a great performance
Usely mma fans are toxic
Damn, when Felder cried while talking about his daughter...
Agreed He looked weak , he shouldn’t have done that .
James Jordan You’d never understand because you’re a loser.
James Jordan - shut the fuck up.
Don't feed the troll, noobs. :p
About how his kid misses him when he leaves? And then immediately was like come see me out in Vegas and London cage side! Just crying about losing.
I just teared up a bit from Felder's interview, powerful Paul Felder. Fought like a savage as well.
I was cheering for Felder but man neither him or Dan know how to move their heads. You would think these experienced veterans would have at least some head movement.
@@RedeemedNick Yeah you are an idiot.
Hell yeah, I was choked, had to leave the room
.
Yeah like everyone else says your an idiot lol
Sad to see Felder like this, love that guy for putting his heart and soul into the sport he loves
One of my favourite fighters!
Love him as a commentator and an analyst, rooted for him in all his fights, but man....this night I became a fan, you know? Had the balls to take on a killer like Hooker and travel half a world away to challenge him on his home turf. Then he gives us a 25 min all out war, because he wanted to give a better life to his daughter. Real dude right there, no wonder the whole stadium cheered for him even though he was fighting their guy.
true
Paul Felder: Oh so you’re a wrestler now
Panic** wrestler lmaoo he did nothing in those moments
@@Dirtysanchez27 It was close. I had Felder winning rounds 3,4 and 5. This is karma for the BS decision win Felder had against Barboza though.
@@MichaelP-ke1tm Karma or not he still deserved this win
Lets wrestle lets wrestle ...
@@MichaelP-ke1tm Round 3? Okay so you clearly don't remember the fight that just happened, he won 2,4,5. And you clearly didn't like the Barboza decision seeing as you keep spamming this shit everywhere.
Great contest but felder edges the win for me , he looked devastated knew he’d won but took it very well . Warrior 🇮🇪👊🏻
English red 1980 You could be Biast though
no way anyone knew who won that.
Isn’t he American ?
He knew he lost he even said it was a smart move to go for the take down in the 5th You need to start strong when you fight away from home then be flexible with your game plan which ultimately got Hooker the win close fight though could of gone either way and I’ll be happy even if was a draw ( I’m a Kiwi ) no bias
@@bvsteel990 I thought you were gonna say he was a pornstar in Philadelphia lol
Felder did incredibly well! Hope everything in his life goes well
He's not actually retired; at least not yet.
I do ufc predictions and i am very lucky that dan hooker got this decision. This fight was epic. I actually scored it a draw in the end.
@Charles Charlemagne Maybe you're right but he robbed Barboza
Great fight! But I had Felder winning 3 rounds too 2.
@Christopher McMillan it was
Homecourt advantage
@Christopher McMillan Actually Hooker outstriked Felder in R1, R3 and R5.
This isn't Taekwondo, an MMA fight isn't won on a point system.
Felder was clearly landing the better shots
Felder should've won, hometown judges always do this type of stuff in close fights smh
Feel sorry for the ones who bet on Felder... So many people robbed to lol
ainfallet BARRBOOOOZZZAAAA
MMA Judges strikes again
yes, for 2 of the 5 rounds that we score fights based on :)
Man When he said that his 4yr old misses him everytime That was emotional Thank you!
@@KyleRAWRberson yeah I heard LOL
This is the kind of shit that makes me cry man.
Gigglesworth Productions soft
Well...at least it didn't make you giggle?
@Only Best Fights Thanks. I have ESPN Plus....darn me
Gigglesworth Productions you‘re extremely gay bro You need jesus
It takes a real gay man to cry
Literally brought tears to my eyes
Same bro
Same man.
I’m curious so getting a takedown makes such a huge difference but the other 5 that he stuffed doesn’t really matter Paul stuffed him repeatedly yet he gets one takedown with absolutely no damage behind was literally holding on for dear life makes that big of a difference? Wow
Don't waste your time mate these boxing judges will never learn about takedowns and score them properly. They will keep retiring good fighters and give the win to punching bags
Yeah I was just confused I mean Paul was stuffing him pretty well those last 3 rounds I assumed takedown percentage was taken into more consideration ya know.
Yeah and what about Mustafaev dominating Riddell all three rounds
It's called mma when your plan doesn't work try something else Hooker went another rout while still landing close fight I would of called a tie but the 5th round Dan controlled the last minute which ultimately swayed the judges
Finally, someone who know whats up! That takedown was part of the plan to take a close fight. What a battle! Paul Felder fan for life now, bring on the next one Hangman!
Dominick Reyes and Yoel be like join the robbed club Felder
romero is special guest at robbery restaurant hahahah
Oezdemir is the president of that club.
@@farhadhaidar Romero started the restaurant.
@@TheAntManChannel Reyes actually outstriked Oezdemir but ok.
The Dominick fight was way more clear, this one was really close
When Paul was peeling his glove off "DON'T DO IT GODDAMMIT!! NOOOO!" 😭😭😭
reppin 262 yeah man i’m shock, i feels like he want to say retire
Bro same
This was one of the best post fight interviews
I love the genuine respect fighters find for each other after these 5 round wars.
Felder Won That Fight. I knew they'd give it to Dan, i wasn't even surprised
Everyone dislike the video
Same here man, hometown advantage is such a real problem
Salty
yea and barboza beat felder so. you win some split decisions you lose some.
Me too man... Me too
Hooker is just asking for a beatdown from Gajethe
Respect...he's definitely not cherry picking.
Oh yes. First exact thing I thought. If he couldn't deal with Felders pressure and power, Justin is fucking him up. I think Gaethje gets the KO. I think Hooker was hurt and on his way out, that takedown saved him. He ain't taking Justin down so LET'S FUCKING GO
Yeah he won’t be able to handle the leg kicks
Joshua M. True he ain’t level changing with Gajethe he’s getting KTFO
He can’t handle anyone out of the top 4 contenders yet. He’s got a lot to work on
I thought Felder won that. But of course they have to send the crowd home happy 🙄
New Zealand judges making themselves happy
Man Mountain Dijk 😂😂😂😂🇳🇿
He is trying to fight like khabib
He won the entire grappling portion of the fight
Mohd Anwar Ansari bloody hell, do you have a brain damage or some?
Felder got up from the final two takedowns in the span of 15 seconds and it was from the hardest positions? He wasn't favoured for that at all? Hooker was wasting time. What a robbery.
and Dan was stalling with underhooks. I had Felder winning 49-46. 1, 3,4,5. The only round he lost was the 2nd IMO. He was the one fighting. Hooker was just potshotting and running away. The difference between Paul landing and Dan landing was telling. Look at Dan's weak ass leg kicks too.
@@artiew8718 what? Felder won the 2nd round then 4th and should have won 5th based on strikes. Stop talking shit
@@artiew8718 they had the tally of strikes at the end of the 4th showing the stats a clear 2 rounds each. Then Felder won the 5th by strikes but hooker the fight for 2 takedowns of lying on top
dont forget felder cage control
Prunce Man yup. He was aggressing pretty much all the fight. The first round aggression was way more than dan. Even if you give the first to dan, felder still should’ve won
Felder got robbed! He's higher on the stats in every department except legs. Even the commentators said Dan wasn't doing damage with the takedown and is gonna try to stay on top to look good for the judges.
hooker calf kick didnt do enough damage with that big number, felder kicks just just a few but guess whos limping after the fight?🤷
This is karma for Felder winning a BS decision against Barboza.
Yes the problem is that two judges scored the 4 and 5 round to felder and the 1,2 and 3 to hooker. This is so awful because felder clearly won the second round.
@@MichaelP-ke1tm yea like he has control over the judges in hooker's hometown right? and did Barboza want to retire after that fight? don't be a dick
Hooker was just touching Felders legs after the first round and everytime he did Felder replied with a thunderous leg kick in return. Round 2 on wards Hooker pretty much ran, got significantly out struck and hugged in rounds 4 & 5. Daylight robbery.
Not much of a sport when the winner doesn’t win.
Its been happening to much lately imo and i know its subjective and i know itd be ignorant of me to claim i know more than pro judges but to me the bias from theese judges in the last 2 years have been ridiculous
Felder controlled the majority of the fight as well, total disappointment
That's what happens when you fight in your hometown smh
Yea but it was close. This wasn't that bad of a call, not like the others we have seen
@@SuperMelphis You could argue Jon won the fight. You really can't argue Felder lost because he had Hooker's number the last 3 rounds. Hooker only landed some BS takedown and stalled. Nothing came from those. Felder won decisively.
Was Hooker even speaking English (genuine question)
Maori i believe man. It's their native tongue.
@@damotheman4196 ty👌
I literally said that out loud when I saw his interview. “is he speaking... English”?
@@DazzerHgnZ3004 All good bro. ✌
All I made out was "STAND UP" and I "DEFEND THIS LAND". Either he was just mixing it up like a lot of people do in interviews, or he actually WAS speaking English. If he was, maybe he should take a break for a while
I personally thought Felder won but the fight was so close that it could've gone either way. 2 Great Warriors.
Mark Tylerson no it was close but felder won, unless the fight is in New Zealand
@@BAGPULAINTAT nope felder lost, Hooker won, end of story
Felder should've won, home town advantage is a real thing! smh
Zairf Muhtasim ufc corruption.
i mean same thing with felder barboza 2, barboza should've won. the more marketable fighter usually wins
Felder had so many opportunities to knock Tired Hooker out but missed his chances. I knew they were gonna rob him because the announcers were praising Hooker way more and hes fighting in his hometown
@@ProtectoroftheRealm the ufc does not appoint the judges, the locations athletic commission does
Dan clearly won he out landed Felder 3 rounds
It’s time for some changes in this sport. That man didn’t deserve that. He won that fight.
This is karma for Felder winning a BS decision against Barboza.
Who didn't deserve that? Who won that fight? You need to drop some names man
@@MichaelP-ke1tm Go rewatch the Barboza fight fool. Clear 29-28 for Felder. He pushed the pace and had Barboza on the backfoot the whole time.
Partha Bee Sports Milly? 😂
@@Mrwm117 Felder got absolutely murdered. Charging forward means nothing when you're getting beat up ie Jose Aldo vs. Moraes.
Riddell does effective striking despite being wrestled to shit, judges give it to him. Felder pieces up Hooker for three rounds, gets taken down once, judges give it to Hooker.
Its amazing that you are able to wilfully ignore all the damage that dan was landing. Good thing you're not a judge
Agree 100%. Riddell dropped Mustafaev once which made more of a difference though. Hooker landed one takedown after getting stuffed a bunch of times. Proceeds to display zero control, no gnp, no sub attempts with Felder getting back to his feet in 15 seconds and gets a W. Control and intention of finishing the fight should def be more of a criteria imho.
@@arsenbaghramyan2077 Oh look, another casual who is ignoring the damage hooker inflicted on felder. People thinking that the takedowns were the only thing hooker accomplished are crazy. I could easily give this fight to felder, sure, but there is a strong case for a hooker victory and people who think this was a robbery are insane.
@@crazykubla Bruh where did I say Hooker did no damage. He won round 1 and 3, but round 2 4 and 5 went to Felder on sig strikes everywhere. One takedown with zero intention of finishing the fight and that accomplished nothing shouldnt have won Dan that fight but it did
@@bedtimemma Actually hooker outstruck felder round 5 and sig strikes were even for round 2 ufcstats.com/fight-details/5fceb95c29d929bc See for yourself, there was no robbery here.
Dammit all these potential retirement speeches get me every time. I loved watching the Irish dragon so this makes me emotional as hell.
Good job Felder 👊🏻👍🏻
They cheated him. He won 4 rounds without a doubt.
Noneof Yourbusiness I didn’t know that in the past tense a fighter could have “one” 4 rounds. 😂
@@adeckuc1429 now you know
Noneof Yourbusiness Sometimes I start talking like Ricky from Trailer Park Boys. It takes a while to learn but through denial and error it works. It doesn’t take rocket appliances.
When there's 50:1 people saying there was a robbery, there was a damn robbery. This is sad for Paul Felder. Even more sad is that the judges stole from Paul Felder's family.
kzhead.info/sun/o7innLWJpV-wo4E/bejne.html Time stamp of the stats. Copied below for the lazy: Significant Strikes: 133 to 119 (Felder) Significant Head Strikes: 84 to 75 (Felder) Significant Body Strikes: 21 to 8 (Felder) Significant Leg Strikes: 28 to 36 (Hooker) Intense Forward Pressure: Felder
@Srinaath Anbudurai Hope that changes in the future with better judging standards. Seems like too many mistakes as of late.
Yeah and everyone in the comments was saying Felder would win before the fight sp they're salty. It was close probably a draw
@Srinaath Anbudurai Felder won that fair and square you stupid call centre working fuck.
Mrwm117 he said nothing disrespectful and you come here with that bullshit. I’m not trying to be a hardass but you’ll get yours one day guy. Just know that.
Felder won the last 3 rounds. Should have won the fight. Something's gotta be done about the judges.
Wayyyyyyyyy to close to call bro
No way man hooker won and even Felder knew it , judges were right on and it’s ridiculous casuals blaming their butt hurt egos on bad judges
@@jamesjordan139 You really think casual fans care about Paul Felder or Dan Hooker? Quit using that lazy term to dismiss people every time you simply disagree. I like both these fighters and would have been fine with the fight going either way, I'm simply expressing the fact I think the judges called it wrong. I'm from Houston, and Texans won a lot of bad decisions when the UFC was just here. No ego, not a casual, just a different perspective.
cattalkbmx he won 2,4,5
Reyes: I was robbed Felder: *hold my Irish whiskey*
The Ripped Reaper was closer than that fight. Definitely not a robbery
@Partha Bee Sports I'm 25, you inbred
The Ripped Reaper Felder won rd 2, 4, and 5
Thank you Felder. You're a warrior. Congratulations Hooker. WHAT. A. FIGHT.
Ace Queen shut the fuck up u don’t need to be one of those dicks
Paul Caruso nah your just a bitch boy 👦 who thinks there the man
If that fight was in Vegas which it should have been, 49-46 Felder UD
What? No way, everyone should agree it was 2-2 going into the 5th. It was close I edged it for felder he did significantly more damage in that last round all hooker had was a takedown to save his life
It was 3-1 Felder going into the 5th with Hooker holding on for dear life. Robbery.
Rezurrekted no 2-2
Felder won the 5th for sure
Rezurrekted it was 2-2
First time I've shed a tear watching the UFC. That line from Felder hit me right in the feels, damn.
Then 8 months later fights Rafael Dos Anjos on 6 days notice and not a ounce of quit in his poise, voice, and stature. Felder is a fucking G.
*Fantastic fight. Respect to both fighters* ✅🙂
No replies?
❤
The judging is genuinely ruining the credibility of the UFC now. Incorrect decisions time and time again lately.
@@f0rtyEight Yeah Fury won the first for sure.
Its fucked up! And sad, and annoying as fuck. Completely unfair for the fighters, both winners and losers. Who the fuck wants to win like that??? Winning by losing, somehow... Sucks
"We're gonna defend this land no matter the cost!" -Judges
It’s gotta feel awesome for to pour your heart and soul into something to have the judges run away with all your hard work.
It's funny isn't it 🤣
hooker won. Clown. You can’t just keep calling every close fight a robbery.
Much respect to felder straight warrior 👊🏾
Why does it matter that he's straight
McGeezle I meant he’s a absolute warrior 😂😂😂
What an absolute machine, I swear this man doesn't have the word "quit" in his vocabulary.
Paul Felder...I now know and respect this name
The Irish Dragon🐉
The power of the take down, wins decisions every single time
You obviously haven't been paying much attention
I was a former wrestler that roots for wrestlers but both Jon Jones and Hooker had one take down in a 5 minute 5 round fight. These judges are horrible.
Derrick Lewis vs Ilir Latifi
@@irtazaazam2573 exactly! These people smoking some good stuff or something
Watched the fight again, at first thought felder had it, and i agree the take down attempts and the successful take down at the end wouldve made a difference.
This was my first ufc event and such an amazing experience. So much respect for both of them
Felder won this fight!!! whats up with the judging these days?????
Hometown advantages. Hooker has way more crowds than felder, he’s more sellable
Commissions, man... The judges should have to be former MMA fighters that actually understand what they're looking at. They should probably be UFC staff, in my opinion.
I was rooting hard for Felder, but when Hooker landed that late takedown I immediately got this feeling that this was gonna win him the fight. Big actions late in the fight by rising stars fighting in front of a hometown crowd always sway the decision in these fights.
He got demolished.. You see his face? Dude got lucky he didnt get dropped. Yeah he finally got in a groove and started dealing a bit more damage in the 4th and 5th but he's face was ground beef and he had no ground game. Almost got caught slipping at the end and it cost him points.
UFC Judges are making a bad name for themselves right now.
Ufc doesn't have they're own judges, the athletic commission in that area provides them for the event.
@Well Drive Hooker won the first round. Second round could have gone either way, but I think Hooker edged him out a little bit. Third round went easily to Dan Felder won the forth. And Hooker won the last round by edging him out with the takedown, and landing more powerful strikes It's beyond me why people think it's a robbery.
@@watchmanHD he got destroyed the last round and then held on to him with zero advance or submission attempts, he lost the last one big time
@Well Drive LOL
Kozuu Hooker landed 18 significant strikes in round 5, while Felder landed 15. When you add that up plus the takedown, Hooker clearly won that round
Felder was robbed🤦🏾♂️
Edson was robbed against Felder, karma
@@JohnatanRF Karma? Felder doesn't make the decisions, and this doesn't benefit Edson at all. This is just shit lol.
JohnatanRF Your Fucken stupid Karma Felder isn't accountable for the decision of the judges
It wasn't a robbery u mug
Bristol Fritzl felder outstruck him and and had octagon control most of the fight he definitely was robbed
Damn they both took so much damage.
@Copycat Singers So if someone gets a quick knock out due to their aggressive, precise striking they didn't earn it? Taking damage only equates to a shorter career.
Home town decision lol
Paul can’t retire now he’s still on the rise
He won't
on the rise but in the wrong division, that top 5 is just a killer
@@pointouttheobvious7091 WW is too wrestling heavy imo for Paul.
Think about it from his perspective. He lost a hometown decision so he needs to build himself back up again. He has a daughter who misses him when he's away. He's absorbed a lot of damage over the years. He isn't getting any younger, and the caliber of opponents in the top 5 is absolutely ridiculous...but he can make money commentating and not have to deal with any of that shit. I'd totally understand if he chooses to walk away.
no touch gloves out of anger & so-called disrespect then runs away most the fight & im a Kiwi ; ) no hate!
Not standing in front of someone and using distance management is not running away
Nahze Williams kiwi is a good fruit lol
I thought the same thing like u no glove touch then run the whole first round and just low kick
That was exactly the plan lol
Yeah right it’s a running competition hooker doesn’t deserve to be a winner he is so disrespectful he doesn’t want to touch clove then after announcing the winner he grab the hand of felder assuming that he respect filder! What a fake athlete!
The words shared by these great warriors is what I personally love about this sport as opposed to all others. I grew up wrestling and we always shook hands before and after a match, along with the opposing coaches at the conclusion. Most of the time it was because that's just what was expected of us. Lots of times didn't really feel a desire to do so but did anyway because I felt the expectation to do so. This Show of Respect of these opponents Reins Supreme in my opinion...
1:13 Hey! Keep that in your shorts.
Lol now we know he shaves it

I was shocked when they scored for Dan Hooker. Felder definitely won this.
The look on Hookers face while announcing score cards and his reaction to the win says it all. He knows he lost this fight and robbed Felder. Poirier will leave the judges out of it when he knocks him the fuck out.

Lmfao
Fuck, didn't think about it like that....

Imagine ruining the whole career by robbery. I really hate these judges now.
It would've been a robbery if Felder got the nod.
Fi it I genuinely hate them, like I have an urge to hurt them physically. They’re fxcking idiots but ignorant and arrogant ones.
Thank you Felder. You are the man. All great fights!🙏🏾
Hooker’s jaw was def broke. Dude couldn’t even speak! Factoring significant strikes is the difference when they’re even on points and Felder owned him. Guess home field advantage is a thing 🤦♂️
Eric Kdawg native language of New Zealand
No you just don’t know how to judge a fight
Felder really is an Irish Dragon warrior. Hooker wanted no part of em on the feet!
Eric you donkey he is speaking maori the language of new zealand learn your shit ya
Keithan Geboyd a lot of people don’t understand it’s a round by round scoring system. I see a lot talking about total strikes but total strikes aren’t a factor when it’s round by round. Plus they don’t know anything else either. Let’s educate them
Good fight I got felder Anyway hooker dont survive three rounds against Justin g
Man that fight will be fun if it happens
2! Lol
Hooker got way better striking, we'll see

Great job to both of them! Super huge giant respect from me!! Awesome athletes and I couldn’t respect and adore your awesomeness more!! 🔥🙏🏻
UFC how long till u do something about the judging??!!
They have it set up nicely where the judging is a separate entity. Can fix fights and shift the blame.
Wow, even though he lost he really is an Irish Dragon warrior. Hooker wanted no part of em on the feet. Robbery.
Has anyone seen the MMA ON POINT video? It has a great suggestion to resolve the judging issue that is currently ruining such a great sport!
Robbery of the fight ladies and gentleman!!!
Paul Felder is a legend in my book! Hooker is the future!
Dam, Paul 😢😭
Dude Hooker was moving backwards all the time
Sadly it's about marketability and upside. UFC sees a more lucrative future with Hooker
because he wanted paul to walk into his shots, if you just want to find out who can hit harder go watch arm wrestling comps
Everyone complaining about a robbery seems to have forgotten the questionable decision that Felder won in his last fight with Barboza. This shit happens all the time, get over it.
That fight wasn’t a robbery my dude if your seriously comparing that fight to this your a fucking idiot Edson felder 2 was actually close and hard to choose this was clear as day stfu.
this trajectory of events changed the map in LW division to be honest......let's not forget Barbosa had won against Hooker pretty handily.......both these guys main evented at a contender match,while Barbosa who arguably beat both of them left for featherweight

Are you freakin kidding me, That's Bull crap he did not win. Felder won that fight dude was striking way more and hitting him way more. Hooker was dancing around, running most of the time. I call b's on this fight.
Felder won! The take downs in round 5 were to little, to late. It was yours Paul. I think everyone knew, if left in the hands of the judges, what the outcome would be.
I think it was even going into the 5th. 1 , 3 hooker. 2, 4 Felder. And hooker took the 5th with that takedown I guess.. honestly should've been a draw. Either could've won and it wouldn't be a robbery
This is the first octagon interview that made me tear up man I love felder
Great fight to both warriors! Congratulations to Dan the hangman, and Paul Felder you will be missed. Respect to both💯
Felder should have won! Hopefully he doesn’t retire, Conor is gonna give this man his last payday🤑💰🙏🏽
Jose Zamora im sorry but a split with hooker theres no point in even trying to push for mcgregor its laughable that people nowadays are like mentioning his name just for a payday not everyone deserves it cerrone ye i like felder but no
Fighters don't retire other fighters, but judges do! Will u do something about UFC? We are witnessing a robbery by judges every week
Respect to both of these warriors. Seeing Felder get emotional about his daughter brought a tear to my eye. There's a dad who has his priorities and heart in a row. Props to both for giving it their all.
Cryed after after watching this great moment respect for both men 🙏🙏
Man Felder made me shed a tear!! Felder we all know what really happened bro.. Thats what happens tho whem u go to someone elses backyard
Dan hardy low key a better post fight interviewer than Joe Rogan.
Such a beautiful display of respect from both fighters. Felder did enough to grab the win in my bogus opinion, but when the fight was that hard and the mutual respect gets shown, both men deserve to feel like winners. Hats off to both of these gentleman
An amazing war between two warriors. I felt it should of gone to felder but it was in no way a robbery. respect for felder for being so graceful about it, he has totally earned my respect and all of the kiwis respect to

Hooker ain’t ready for the smoke of any of the top 5 lightweights. All except Cowboy walk straight through him, unless he ups his game.
You're underestimating how good Felder is.
He's not getting past Khabib or Tony, there are levels to this game.
Andres González Conor, Poirier, and Gaethje are all incredibly tough matchups for him. He is going to have a shit show of a time climbing that ladder. Gaejthe probably smokes him in his next fight anyway if he gets the match up
