Dan Hooker claims brutal loss against Dustin Poirier helped him turn his career around
Dustin Poirier went up against Dan Hooker in the main event of UFC Vegas 4 in June 2020 where the two explosive lightweight contenders put on a show for the ages. The fight is considered among the most brutal scraps of all time, at the end of which 'The Diamond' got his hand raised via unanimous decision.
While Dustin Poirier went on to beat Conor McGregor twice in succession after that fight, Dan Hooker lost three of his next four outings. However, 'The Hangman' then went on to bounce back with consecutive wins over Claudio Puelles and Jalin Turner.
During a recent interview with Combat TV, Hooker explained how his loss to Poirier affected him and how that helped him turn his career around. He said:
"I hit [Poirier] with the kitchen sink, and he just cruises through... The things I learned in that fight have helped me win my last two fights... With [Puelles], I kept quiet, but he fractured my knee... But same thing, I wasn't concerned."
He continued:
"Same thing when I'm fighting Turner. He's teeing off on me... And I was staying cool. And I looked at him, and I was like, he's panicking!"
