Edson Barboza stunned Dan Hooker at UFC Milwaukee on Saturday (15) in one of his 25 years of superiority. The Brazilian slaughtered the opponent for just over two rounds, injuring the face, abdomen and rival's legs with a lot of power and impact. In the final badault, the persistent blows in Dan's belly and ribs were a triumph.
But if Edson's performance was flawless, force is to emphasize the impressive resistance of Hooker. Although destroyed by the fights of the American Top Team fighter, Dan continued to advance until he could not do it anymore. The incredible toughness of the New Zealander has led the broadcast of the Ultimate to break the protocol and to follow, with its cameras, the athlete from the octagon to the locker room. Among the officials who accompanied the loser, there was none other than Dana White, President of Ultimate.
The first round was designed with the help of kicks. While the Brazilian bet on those kicks on the legs to undermine the New Zealander's action, Hooker focused more on Edson's ribs. By the force and the volume of the chamfer, the fluminense took much more advantage the turn. From the middle to the end, the punches still strongly shook the rival, clearly defining an badault that should be punctuated by 10 to 8.
The next five minutes reveal a change of position of Dan, who begins to rely heavily on Barboza, trying to turn the confrontation into a frank and unorthodox fight. The constant approach of the New Zealander, even, made it difficult to kick the Brazilian down and balanced, briefly, the fight. Hooker had a down, he had the advantage, but already very worn, he could not evolve. Upon rising, Edson again slaughtered his opponent who, in the meantime, had been questioned several times by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services' physician if he really wanted to resume the fight.
The last few minutes served only to show how difficult it was Hooker. Barboza punished the area of Dan's abdomen with punches and, most importantly, with ribs and knees.
In the previous fight, without the same fly weight mobility (57 kg), it was a good hook for the stomach, a drop of water in a deep process of physical exhaustion, which brought the Hanged to give up. Sergio Pettis, now a rooster (61kg), was an easy target for throws and staging by Rob Font, who found it very easy to hit the younger brother of former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis. From the start of the duel, Rob used his fast hands to play hard with his rival.
Font also seemed to predict most of Sergio's kicks. At various times he held the rival's legs and countered him with quick blows. Despite the very large number of shots, Pettis, barely 25 years old, resisted punches and did not stop his momentum for more than two rounds. However, when he was brought back to the ground in the final minutes of the fight, the old flyweight showed all his frustration, spending more than a minute to shut up, trying to prevent Rob from control.
