@danielatlas7059 if Charles loses to Islam he will have to climb the ranks for the belt. What better way to leap frog everyone then by fighting Dustin.
nah not really this is a bit hard to watch, hooker couldn't even respond to poirier in the end when they were talking. theres a point where id rather the dude just get knocked out then just keep getitng the shit beat out of him
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who loved those standing hammer fists 😭 everytime I watch this fight I replay that part and the end of rd 2 at least 5 times 🔥 such an underrated fight
To me it just shows how comfortable Dustin is under fire...a lot of people would be defensively panicking but hes so calm he finds just a tiny opening for a creative attack
@@wreckitrigo230 It was a war but it got uncomfortable to watch towards the end as Hooker started fatiguing while Poirier still looked fresh. It’s hard to explain but it’s just not fun watching the momentum get to this point.
I'm not a Poirier fan but now i think about it, Dustin is truly the most entertaining lightweight. Hooker, Connor, Chandler, Gaethje, Oliveira. every fight is so fun to watch.
Such a brutal fight. The COVID no fan era of fights was nasty because you could hear every punch and kick so clear, and this was the best fight of that era
Dan vs Dustin is my all time favorite fight. It was just epic. The lockdown era of ufc was savage. You could hear everything, punch, kick, walk, even their breathing. And then ofcourse this era brought another realization of the horror of the fight game in the form of Justin vs Tony. The fact that you could hear everything drove home the fact that this is really a blood spot were the journey to one man's death can only be interrupted by time or one other man. Yeah, that one I will never watch again.
Fun fact: Dustin actually said that he was unconscious for second or two at the end of round 2 after that knee, and you can actually see that Dustin went limp before his back touched the cage there, 2:48. Probably my all time favorite fight in any fight sport.
I remember watching this fight at the pub at the time. We all commented that this would be life changing for the amount of damage taken during these exchanges. To hear those shots and to hear how excited and also concerned bisping and dom were during the fight, showed is how savage the fight was. Dan hasn't been the same since, and even dustin avoids those massive fire fights now. Much respect to both fighters. epic
Weasle was on point with this fight, Hooker didn't come back in the third round, the end of round 2 was the last time we saw him, and if you notice he's much faster and on point in this fight, his jab was accurate, nowadays he looks slower
This is a fight that I seriously think is one of the UFC’s top 10 fights. And the fact is that not many people seem to know or talk about it. This fight is something seriously out of an action movie.
Really? You type in Dustin Vs Dan hooker and you instantly get the full fight and the highlights. I'm guessing you never looked for this fight or couldn't spell their names correctly 😂
Epic fight and i hate to say it but given the fact that there's no crowd its alot easier to actually hear what really connects. we need more mics inside the octagon!
Those covid fights were some of the best, no crowd noise you can hear every brutal strike that lands and the cometors going crazy. This one is up there with Mcdonald VS Lawler
Im here because someone commeted about how loud and scary these hits sounds. The crowd suppresses the hits dramatically. This is a completely different experience!
This was one of the best ever fights I've watched in my 15+ years of watching the UFC. They were swinging like crazy. Dustin definitely had the upper hand in the end though.
Dustin’s longevity and consistency makes his nickname SO fitting..
diamonds never crack under pressure… unless it’s a rear naked choke
Best fighter to never win a belt

The combo Hooker hits at the end of round 2 might be some of the most violent sounding punches I’ve ever heard
How did Dustin not go down?
That knee at the bell too , you could see Dustin's eyes roll into the back of his head , Dustin a fucking champ
@@pustindoirierthe diamond just doesn’t go down
His eyes roled back & his tongue came out 😂😂😂😂 bro had a "outta body experience" (said by Quando Rondo)
@@christianevrard8258 Porier did say if that round last 30 more seconds, he would've been KO'ed lol
This fight doesn’t get talked about enough. Can’t believe it’s been 3 years
best round 2 of all time maybe atleast top 5
this fight is legendary
Definitely bro! Dan almost had it too which was really exciting
One of the most balanced fights ever.
This is what I pay for when I watch these guys fight, a legendary slugfest indeed!
This is one of those fights who you show to new fans and they fall in love instantly with the sport

This was the last time we ever truly saw Dan Hooker again.
Idk he looked pretty good against Claudio Puelles
@@lethweiblackbeltPuelles is a scrub. We’ll see if he’s actually still got it against Jalin.
@lethweiblackbelt not really puelles just looked extra bad. He gave up. Then got cut.
@@lethweiblackbelthe looked awful against Puelles and is gonna get finished by Turner
@@mirai4652well, he didn’t look awful.. he looked a little gun-shy, which is understandable considering he probably has some PTSD from this fight

@@Togairu bro u know the first was probably a shock but the 2 follow ups had to hurt so inconveniently bad lol
@@Togairusame with Chandler. He was up against the fence surviving Barrages of heat seeking missiles by Chandler.
This fight is amazing, but it is legitimately hard for me to watch, the beating Hooker took in the last 3 is just soul crushing
Shame most fighters don't get the respect they deserve cause God damn the amount of heart it takes to endure that is ridiculous
It was not like a onesided beating or anythin, DP had to bleed it out to win.
A beating isn’t the right word. It was a back and forth war
@@wreckitrigo230

They beat tf outta each other bro wym
Some fights change a fighter, this one did for Hooker. Never the same since.
This didn't age well..
It didn't! I agree haha. It did for a while. @@iceeeuuuu
naw he's still a savage, people get on the internet and act like god just passing false judgement
@@rackembarry social media brings the absolute worst and ugliest out of everybody. It has never been clearer how fallen Man is
When Dustin said "I'm having a blast" you only need to look at Hooker's face.
Absolute fucking warriors. The more you understand about true fighting the more you appreciate a battle like this, unreal performance by both men.
I'm not a Poirier fan but now i think about it, Dustin is truly the most entertaining lightweight.
Hooker, Connor, Chandler, Gaethje, Oliveira. every fight is so fun to watch.
say that to charles
@matejsebechlebsky12 getting your ass starched in every fight doesn't make you an entertaining fighter.
What are you talking about Dustin only lost to Oliveira he beat all the other
and alvarez and pettis
Seems most lightweights are compared to other divisions . I mean Justin and Dustin, Charles and Chandler , just to name a few

Unless you like defenese
Nah y’all must be new Rory vs robbie is the most violent
@@Nightisco duuuuhhhh
Tony vs Justin was brutal too
@@tannermcguire7713 anyone who can watch that fight without feeling horrible for tony is the type of guy to deserve being ankle picked
What makes this fight amazing was the sound of those punches , it deserved a crowd but it needed silence, Bisping's best work as a commentator lol.
This fight was the best in the apex
Don't want to hear any disrespect towards Dustin, bro is a DAWG!
Nobody disrespects him...Hooker on the other hand..
@@M3Luckyand conor
This is still one of the best fights of probably all time
Those standing hammer fists were effective
"He really thought he was gonna get past me and move up" Damn Daniel. so fucking close
Top 5 combat sports fights ever. Between boxing, wrestling, mma, there’s only a handful of fights that beat this
If Hooker got the stoppage I was in for 5000 euro, I was sweating bullets with heart palpitations at that round 2
"Listen to Bisping" - Poirier
He is on another level of awareness
Bisping reacting to the brutal punches is gold in this vid 🤣🤣🤣
Fight of the year... I remember I was going crazy watching this live
herb dean: “protect yourself at all times”
DP & DH: “LMFAAAAAOOOOO”

Yeah but Dustin has progressed even further after this fight. Dan regressed.
Dustin does NOT avoid those at all!! he fought max Halloway, beat up Chandler fought Justin gaethe 2 times in a row and last one for the BMF belt lol
😂 what, were you high when you wrote this
@@shuzzbotwhat leads you to believe he was high?
I’ve watched this fight 10 times, just a masterclass on both sides
These two guys def gave away some life years by fighting each other
unreal fight, they're flowing back and forth with long combos and big counters and pitching punches like baseballs. insane toughness and heart
one of the best fights iv seen live
Best back n forth boxing I've seen in a mma fight, ever!!!
One of the fights that made me fall in love with the UFC
The sounds are so brutal, all their power behind each hit
Insane
Weasle was on point with this fight, Hooker didn't come back in the third round, the end of round 2 was the last time we saw him, and if you notice he's much faster and on point in this fight, his jab was accurate, nowadays he looks slower
The silence from the Apex made this fight so much better, covid pandemic had some of the best bangers 💯
This is a great fight hightlights, excellent work on the montage, all interesting bits and no commentary cut 🙏 Nice job
This fight describes mma so well take downs, submission attempts, hard-core striking
I never get tired of rewatching this fight 🤷🏾♂️💯
This fight and tony vs justin, were so violent. Not have a crowd, and hear those shots land was a different experience
Kept seeing reels of this fight and I was actually gonna rewatch it last night, tremendous timing
I miss quarantine sports, where you just hear the rawness of the sport, the chatter, the hits, the atmosphere. Truly a unique time.
Dastin uno de los peleadores más humildes y con un boxeo increíble que he visto !! Pedazo de combate
I watched this live and still come back to it regularly
This is a fight that I seriously think is one of the UFC’s top 10 fights. And the fact is that not many people seem to know or talk about it. This fight is something seriously out of an action movie.
This is arguably the best fight im the UFC. It displayed every aspect of MMA beautifully.
Awesome fight. Can you upload the full fight please?
One of the most violent fight i've ever seen.
The sound of those punches... Damn !
This is one of the best fights I’ve ever seen
I was going crazy like Bisping screaming after every clean hit. In my Top 5 favorite fights ever!
We need to see these two fight again
one of the greatest fights of all time. legendar.
This is one of my favorite fights ever

One of the best and hardest fights i ever watch 😮
One of the best fights ever.
he was never the same after this beating
i think being able to hear punch sounds adds more to this match
Dustin has some of the best close range phone booth boxing I have seen
This was one of Dustin’s hardest fights. He had to dig deep for this one and its surprising to me. Well done Dan, but Dustin had more dog in him.
One of the greatest mma wars of all time , such a shame it was in the Apex this would've blew the roof off t-mobile arena
One of my favourite fights of all time!
Imagine This match with the Crowd 💯
2:27 - Hooker's combo is so precise, clean, powerful. Amazing.
Imagine this Hooker vs Gaethje 🤯
Jon aniks commentary summed this fight up perfectly 😂
Now these dudes are real warriors. Imagine getting punched like that and staying up to take some more.
the spirit of BJ Penn, BOX & JITS
Imagine this being your first time watching any mma fight.
Imagine if there's crowd for this fight 💥🔥🔥🔥
My 2020 fight of the year, Dan Hooker and Dustin Poirier had an absolute war 👏👏👏👏 good times 😊
And dan is back! He has found his second wind coming for justin
@@iceeeuuuu yes! 🙌🙌🙌
Love when Dustin goes for his "throw the fight" guillotine.
My favorite fight I ever watched
Im here because someone commeted about how loud and scary these hits sounds. The crowd suppresses the hits dramatically. This is a completely different experience!
I like how Poirier checked him at the end..
Don’t headbutt me dude…
That wasn’t a headbutt
Bro a lot of crazy fights were without a crowd wow. Imagine the crowd on this one.
If this fight would’ve had a crowd the arena would’ve exploded!
Must be crazy being able to hear the commentary on your own fight!
One of the best fights ever
I wish Dan would have had more wrestling it would be cool to see him have more control in some of the closer exchanges
Both of them are super durable and skilled.
Dustin is the best fighter in the UFC man. He’s versatile, agile and tough as nails. All with grace and style. Love it all
Best fight I’ve ever watched. By far.
This was one of the best ever fights I've watched in my 15+ years of watching the UFC. They were swinging like crazy. Dustin definitely had the upper hand in the end though.
Best ufc fight ever...
Dustin did to Hooker what Justin did to Tony
Idk about that exactly cause aside from that Uppercut Tony has nothing for Justin. This was a a flat out back and fourth war
the sound effects with no crowd is insane
This might just be the best fight of all time……..
"You havin fun?" has to be some of the best cornering psychology ever.
man this fight deserved a crowd smh.
The fight that changed Dan forever
This fight has everything
peak apex right here. loved the no crowd
Great fight! Respect both fighters! 💪 🍻
The hits sound so much harder without an audience cheering 😬
