Dan Hooker Discussing His Stunning Finish at UFC Fight Night 110

Speaking at the post-fight press conference for UFC Fight Night 110 (via MMAjunkie), Dan Hooker discussed his knockout win over Ross Pearson. Below are some highlights from the presser.

Hooker on the finish: “I just caught him with that knee. Lucky – nothing else.”

Hooker on how he felt for the fight: “I just felt strong; I felt fit. I felt like a completely different fighter. I felt like myself. That’s how I train. That’s how I compete in the gym, and when I’m not draining myself to get down to 145, it’s my natural weight into the fight. … I’m never going back to featherweight.”

Hooker on fighting in New Zealand: “Looking after the finish and seeing the crowd and just hearing them, it’s the same as the first show. That’s one of the loudest crowds I’ve come across. These New Zealand fans, they’ve got some lungs of them.”
