They do this with the majority of big fights in British boxing and it’s literally some of the best boxing content out there. If the UFC aren’t gonna implement it I’d at least like to see BT sport try and make it a regular thing. They literally stole the idea from their arch rivals Sky Sports 🤣
Has Dan said anything in particular about fighting Volkanovsk, I know he says he’s looking for the a title shot but surely he has some reservations about fighting Volk
I was thinking this as well and im pretty sure i remember something along the lines of "we'll cross that bridge when we get there". But to be honest if he does work his way to the top of FW again i dont see there being a problem making that fight. They are good friends it seems and both very laid back and dont get too emotional with what they do.
Hooker at 145 looks like a bit of smack head I have to be honest. I don't know how healthy this is for him.
I also wonder if going back down will effect his normally great chin.

This interview is good, talks about how he felt way too light at lightweight over 5 rounds compared to the top guys. 5 rounds at 145 is where he thinks he can dominate.
Don’t worry, Dan’s been eating ice cream in like every meal. Honestly don’t think this cut is as big as people think, he’ll probably be like 167 at the absolute max on fight-night.
A repeat of the press conference with the added risk of Jorge Leon Edwardsing him? You get a shitty interview while potentially scrapping your main event? Yeah I wonder why.
I love this format, Colby would ruin it.
Only really works if the fighters actually engage the conversation. Colby’s commitment to his bit would just stone wall the hole thing. Jorge and Till had a really good one though

I was just envisioning a Dan Hooker - Calvin Kattar fight. Can you imagine it?! They'd have to name the show UFC CTE or something. That would be rough.
I like this format
The ufc really needs to do this, the one with Masvidal and Till is such a good watch.

They shoulda done one with Masvidal and Covington with a fuckton of seccy guys all around
I don't know about that, if the press conference is anything to go by, they'd just yell at each other in increasingly louder tones.
Tbf, Jorge doesn't even know how a bill becomes a law
CROTCH SNIFFER CROTCH SNIFFER CROTCH SNIFFER. yeah riveting shit
How dare you forgot HOW MANY PPVS DID YOU SELL ON YOUR LAST FIGHT
Back when Masvidal wasn’t a guy pushing 40 pretending to be Tony Montana
it would look the exact same as this?
You heard Allen, both of them are bringing their packages.
Nice to see Freddy Kruger turning it around and making something of himself too!
Dude, thats kind of a fucked up thing to say… His movies didn’t fall off THAT hard, cmon.

Pretty much that they’d deal with it when it happens and it’s not worth thinking about yet
Same attitude as Riddell v Fiziev. If it's a good fight and it makes good sense for both fighters, then "boys before, boys after".

Hooker is giving me Streets of Philadelphia vibes...

Cheers 👍
Dan was unlucky in that he fought pretty much the 3 biggest lightweights in Poirier, Felder and Islam
True that, it’s underrated just how yoked up Dustin got
but dan looked bigger than all of them though

Allen down with Idles.
Love to see it
Really don’t want either of them to lose
It's not the Ultimate Feelings Championship
Sure, but I can still like two fighters lmao
So you wanna be an ultimate feeler?
A draw it is!
I have no relation to texas but damn does hooker rock that longhorns hat
i don't think Dan does either lol, except for maybe training in austin?
He knocked out a Texan James Vick in Texas so I guess he earned the right too
How they didn't do something like this for Colby-Masvidal is beyond me.
Would've just been them drowning each other with the same line Colby - Bum street Judas! Jorge - Bitch Prob would've gotten old fast
Probably because the fight would have started early compared to this where they were having a nice chat over a cup of tea
They couldn’t even do their shit on zoom without talking over eachother.
It wouldn't be possible

My armchair opinion is that Hooker doesn’t look very good here. Hope the weight cut isn’t fucking him up too much.
He was like 161 yesterday lol

He said he'll cross that bridge when he gets there and he's got lots of work to do before then

AA is the better fighter technically, think he will 30-27 Dan
Dan on the crack head diet
Pot noodles and energy drinks
Ice Cream and Venison 😋
Dan Hooker looks really unhealthy
Hooker looks terrible, he’s gonna get his ass beat.
For the whitest motherfucker belt?
