Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker killing each other, Jon Anik: One of the best rounds in the UFC!! Unless you like defense.

@skeet That's hilarious
@skeet Cap
@skeet I've seen actual chess matches that were more exciting
@I Consume Feces On A Daily Basis you clearly don’t watch chess
@I Consume Feces On A Daily Basis bruh watch any Andrew Tang stream is you think chess is slow
Two wars for Dan Hooker. He really should have taken more time off before coming back to fight Chandler.
That didn't seem to be the problem in that fight, he looked like he wanted to abuse range and just couldn't deal with the pressure like it surprised him or something. I can't help but suspect adesanya influenced him but hooker can't use that style yet
sof this is a strange take. hooker is an elite fighter in his own right without adesanya and doesn’t just look and copy what adesanya does. hooker has always had great success using a SIMILAR style to adesanya, ie feinting a lot and using his length, and just because he lost one fight it doesn’t mean that doesn’t work for him. if anything i would say his problem was being too tentative.
he had second thoughts, especially going without his coach/corner team. but he said it was a once in a lifetime opportunity that he couldn't pass up
And now Chandler gets to fight for the belt, logic am I right
@@dylanmcintyre7867 it's not that far fetched I mean gaethje came in almost 2 fights away from a title shot, same with askren. Chandler had the best ufc debut against top 5 guy first round ko uncontested I mean it's a goodass argument for a title shot. Plus he's new in the picture that's refreshing for lightweight can't deny that.
Dan Hooker the MVP for delivering 2 of those fights, kinda reminds me of Rory McDonald
Hopefully he didnt lose his killer instinct after that Poirier fight like Rory with Lawler
@@dylanreyes6500 What killed his killer instinct was his christianity
Lol Lawler vs Rory 2 wasn't even that great. Also he wasn't that exciting of a fighter
@@1999DarkTower He never had killer instincts
jpnewpic88.men
burgos saying no way after getting his ass beat is hilarious
Hey, not like he could remember it.
It’s okay it’s the CTE dementia
most fighters say “It’s a blur” when they’re in the cage, especially after they get hit in the head for 15-25 minutes. plus you should give the guy some credit, because he ate some HEAVY shots.
I think he said all the way twice then said come on
I remember watching and I thought he lost. I didnt even think it was close.
Figueiredo / moreno definitely the most technical and complete mma fight i ever seen. It was an awesome but underrated war.
100% underated, i’m so excited for their rematch in June
@WhaleRider 3000 that’s why I want Moreno to win in the rematch
Fights like their first one is the reason I love this sport.
@WhaleRider 3000 there’s no way in hell that kick to his nuts was accidental I got so heated when I saw that shit
The most technical high level fights of all time in order is Jon Jones vs DC 2 and then TJ vs Cruz. This is fact not opinion
J"OHHHH" Rogan
🤣🤣
The Brandon Moreno vs Deiveson Figueiredo fight gives me chills every time.
I was on the edge of my seat the whole fight! That was nuts
My favorite fight of 2020, Moreno fighting style is dope af. Man fights like his life depends on it.
Every time deiveson landed a big strike I thought Moreno would be out. But he didn't even wobble. Crazy fight.
I love how deiveson just walks into the assault like 'you can't hurt me motherfucker'! and absolutely diggs into his puches. Bad intentions ...
Figgy won 4 of 5 rounds and had a terrible point taken its supposed to be ya fouls not one also the judges did bad. Absolute robbery
Hooker vs Poirer is actually insane. Makes me feel sick just watching it
i dont know how they took those shots
@@danb7601 they don't know how they took those shots.
hooker got 2 spots in these rankings for a reason. he gives and takes a lot of damage
Hooker vs porrier definitely got round of the year
@@shaheenshaikh8368 since neither of them is muslim, and neither is dead, I don't see how this applies. Or are you saying that the Muslim afterlife is filled with badass MMA fights?
burgos has a adamantium chin, like how is that possible?
@Max Moody bru that fight was before the josh emmett fight. dude has good chin
It is possible until he starts eating through the straw. So, you know...
@Max Moody Calvin fight was ages ago 🥴🥴
He just built different
Eating a clean overhand right on the jaw by Josh Emment is actually inhuman
Moreno vs Figueiredo with everyone overlooking Moreno has to be my favorite fight, I think Moreno was the biggest underdog and had the best performance against Figueiredo who was looking unstoppable
If Yoel vs Israel isn't number 1 we riot.
Riot alone 😂
I’m looting target
Imagine thinking that there is a fight better than the yoel izzy one
... and then you raid Area 51
It isn't.... WE RIOT NOW 😂😂😂

Burgos vs Emmet is really underrated. What a fight it was. Both were constantly throwing bombs throughout
@Manny Blackstar yeah have to give credit for Burgos taking those shots and surviving them one thing I noticed in that fight is that emmet after throwing a heavy right dips his head and follows up with a left hook while forcing his way forward
@@rcangelanddemon8815 Burgos needs to make some adjustments to his style, he takes way too much damage in his fights against the likes of Kattar, Emmet, and now Barboza.
@@conceivebelieveachieve9544 agreed and so far he’s been lucky and with emmet he tried and rolls with it which can just not end well at all

Aren't there multiple fight of the night bonuses occasionally
Bisping's yelling made the fight even more exciting during dan hooker vs dustin
Dan Hardy too!
OH MY WERD
10:10 that simultaneous side kick was so beautiful!
I respected Dan’s attempt he threw everything he could at him and he had his moments in the fight, but I like that judges unanimous decision. Dustin was amazing
2020 and Frankie is still giving us wars and WINNING them. Salute Legend.
It’s crazy he’s done so much in the sport
statistically it’s the biggest robbery of all time
@@matcontant6841 Idk about that, still gotta look up to this man, so many wars, so many top contenders and he's still there at the highest level, performing very well. That is so impressive. Most guys he competed against are done and have been for a while.
@@matcontant6841 No way Edgar won that 100%
@@RealfishingadventuresCQ I like Edgar and the only reason Pedro had so many more significant strikes is because of leg kicks. Munhoz definitely took more head and body shots, haven't looked at the stats, but I feel confident in that statement.
I KNEW IT Top 3 Dustin Poirier vs Dan Hooker Deveison Figueredo vs Brandon Moreno Zhang Weili vs JJ
Hell yeah brother those 3 for sure
Yeh top 3 is right. Dustin hooker was number 1 though.
I agree with the top 3 but I would switch 2 and 3
Weili vs Joanna one of the greatest fights in mma history if not the greatest and it’s crazy how many good fights we got out of 2020 god bless all the fighters for putting on a show every Saturday
Wow you are so smart 🙄
I love Bisping. Just yelling "THIS IS FUN!!" When they are just beating the crap out of each other
I love that standing ovation before the fight was over. Something kinda gets me emotionally at the end of that Weili v Joanna Fight, such a battle, both performed so fiercely and competitively. Joanna applauding at the end looking how she did and the relief on Weilis face. Just warriors. Historic.
My favorite was Dustin vs Hooker.
Imagine if that fight had a crowd
@@stefbruins7411 nah the noise of the punches added to the fight
Figuredo vs Moreno has it for me
@@chriszimmerman5690 same Ofc I wouldn’t mind any of the top 3 being considered the best
This fight was number 1 in my book. They beat the shit out of each other and the no crowed aspect was chilling when you could hear how hard they were hitting eachother.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a chin like Shane Burgos’
What about Hookers🤔
Condit maybe?
Fergusons chin vs Geathje almost 5 rounds? but I do agree Burgos is insane chin
Dudes a fucking warrior goddamn.
Hooker can take more punishment then most
hearing the commentators also be the fans in the crowd is an unexpected gift
The ufc content has been absolutely amazing here lately!! 👏
Rewatching the Felder Hooker fight made me miss the crowd, it seems like a decade ago and i'm sorry that 6:15 Emmett punch was one of the most brutal thing i'v ever seen

@donald cerrone yeah but he let's be real he lost to Barboza. I guess that leveled it out.
Same. Imagine Dustin vs Hooker with a crowd, it makes actually a big difference I think we'd all forgot
No hearing the crowd makes me realize It's much better without the crowd. Most of them are just drunk assholes anyhow.
Poirier is already a legend, he's beaten real killers. Poirier-Hooker.

That women’s title fight was crazy. Insane pace over the whole 25 minutes
Shout out to Hooker for being on here twice even though he lost Poirier both fights were extremely close and a blast to watch.
Honestly my favorite year of fights ever. High level fights in an empty arena setting is the purest form of the sport to me. You hear everything, the striking, breathing, twisting, crying, corners, it’s amazing!

Ugh. People still do these? Talk about being stuck in 2018...
Dustin Poirier vs Dan Hooker is still my favorite fight probably ever.
Can't help but agree with this one, these fighters battled and gave us viewers/FANS something to be ecstatic about.
Zhang vs Joanna is hands down absolutely deserving of the FOTY. Hell, it's one of the greatest combat sports wars ever IMO.
Other than power difference imo it's up there with the likes of Hendo vs Rua. Absolute war
Nah I'm with Moreno for that. His spirit is unmatched against the odds.
exactly. both fighters were game that night & so perfectly matched
Zhang vs Joanna is hof fight already
It's between that and Dustin Hooker
Can't imagine how much split lose hurts the losing fighter after giving their best ..

9:20 very good ref display
Herzog is good
You guys nailed it with those top 3! Amazing is an understatement for these fighters!
I like how Dan hooker was in this list twice, just shows how game and badass he is
I really started paying attention to Hooker after his fight with Barboza. He is a textbook definition of warrior. No quit in him.
Both those fights were absolute wars too!! Next level. Both could’ve been in the top 3 for mine.

Nicholas Schopfer true

Was insane watching live, same with poirier at the end of round 2
No one has ever put him to sleep, not even Kattar when they fought. Insane chin and durability.
If only he learnt to move his friggin head dudes talented af
Zhang vs Joanna and Moreno vs Figgy are two of the best fights the UFC has ever seen. So thankful for all of the fighters on this list!
Porier v hooker was better
I think Dustin vs Hooker #1 Joanna vs Zhang #2 "Not too sure on #3 could be Moreno vs Figgy.
Figgy / Moreno wasn't exceptional compared to Zhang / Joanna
@@jorrba3934 the reason hooker-poirier wasnt #1 i think is because it was just a slugfest, whereas weili and joanna displayed pretty much all there is to mma
@@cornprices1718 What? There was zero grappling in Joanna's fight whereas Dustin almost submitted Hooker, and there was 5 takedowns in total.

Beautiful displays of violence!! My top 3 was: #1 Weili vs Joanna #2 Poirier vs Hooker #3 Hooker vs Felder
We were lucky to get to see all those fights with no fans in attendance. Gave you a whole new perspective and appreciation for what these guys do in the cage
Shane burgos leaves his brain in the gym bag before the fight, and then puts it back in afterwards.... concussion free 👌
Numerous times he got hit about as clean as you can possibly get hit from a big puncher and it had almost no effect! Unbelievable
Thought it was the concussion talk when he was like "come on." But I guess not. Lol
Your right he doesn’t have a brain in the octagon 😂
Funny to hear that after the Barboza fight, guess the concussion was building up through all those fights, hope hes ok now, but its a pretty stupid move to keep getting tagged like that
Who’s ready for fans to be in attendance?! Damn I miss the sound of the crowd during a nice throw down.
i miss it but don’t at the same time. I love hearing the oo’s and aah’s but i love hearing the sound of every shot too🤣
I kinda prefer the silence. You can really hear the punches and kicks, it's brutal!
@@ZeroHBRPro agreed mate. You hear every single blow!! it’s amazing. It’s going to be weird seeing mcgregor with no crowd behind him
Nah I much rather it without the crowd
@@squiddkos02 yeah that’s very true! Going back and watching the Hooker vs Poirer fight was insane! Those shots hurt me 😆
I don’t know if it was joe that made the flyweight fight so good but that was one of the best fights I’ve ever seen
Glad you included Emmet vs Burgos, that was an underrated one. Great fight and Emmet has a big future
Hooker in two of these. Always a firefight with that dude. Love it
If Poirier takes those shots from McGregor it’s lights out
That's the truth but in saying that poirier has all the ability to beat mcgregor if he decides to mix it up striking and take downs hes an elite fighter and can get the W but if he decides to box with mcgregor he's gonna get sparked
I think he’ll have a different game plan. Also, hooker is a massive LW. Probably the biggest LW on the roster, so his punching power is honestly probably comparable to McGregor at 155.
@@chacong7 Dustin is heavier than Hooker and punches harder but I don't think it will be enough. Conor is too clinical and Dustin gets in dog fights.
Hooker has more power and honestly, probably better technique too than McGregor.
@@GenerictheHandle how come he couldn't do anything to Khabib? Lmao, had a full round to strike and did nothing. Got dropped himself by a fucking overhand looool
