Dan Hooker's victory at UFC 281 against Claudio Puelles was followed by a memorable post-fight octagon interview with Joe Rogan.
Hooker bided his time against Puelles in the first round before launching body kicks to secure a TKO victory in the second round of the main card opener. 'The Hangman' then proceeded to speak to Rogan in the octagon interview, during which he planted a kiss on Rogan's head to sign off.
Hooker was asked to describe his experience kissing Rogan in an interview with Submission Radio. Hooker spared no details:
"Joe Rogan's head, it was glistening. It was talking to me. It said, 'Kiss me, Dan Hooker. Kiss me.' It tasted sweet! It tasted sweet, he had the sweat. It was magical. It was like, 'Aah.' It was one of the best things I've ever tasted in my life, if I'm not gonna lie, if I'm being honest. That's a good-smelling man! That was a good-smelling man, well taken care of head. Not smelly at all. Delicious."

"It's otherworldly [the accomplishment], and you know the difference is like, Israel of course is a specialist, and that specialist is his striking... Alex Pereira is one of the greatest strikers in kickboxing history. He's a real killer and we saw it tonight that it translates to MMA. But boy did he get tested, especially in the first round."
