Dustin’s longevity and consistency makes his nickname SO fitting..

The combo Hooker hits at the end of round 2 might be some of the most violent sounding punches I’ve ever heard

this fight is legendary

This is one of those fights who you show to new fans and they fall in love instantly with the sport

This was the last time we ever truly saw Dan Hooker again.

This fight doesn’t get talked about enough. Can’t believe it’s been 3 years

The legendary prison stab strikes from Dustin

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who loved those standing hammer fists 😭 everytime I watch this fight I replay that part and the end of rd 2 at least 5 times 🔥 such an underrated fight

This fight is amazing, but it is legitimately hard for me to watch, the beating Hooker took in the last 3 is just soul crushing

Dustin turned Dan's brains to apple sauce he hasn't been the same since

I'm not a Poirier fan but now i think about it, Dustin is truly the most entertaining lightweight. Hooker, Connor, Chandler, Gaethje, Oliveira. every fight is so fun to watch.

Some fights change a fighter, this one did for Hooker. Never the same since.

Dan vs Dustin is my all time favorite fight. It was just epic. The lockdown era of ufc was savage. You could hear everything, punch, kick, walk, even their breathing. And then ofcourse this era brought another realization of the horror of the fight game in the form of Justin vs Tony. The fact that you could hear everything drove home the fact that this is really a blood spot were the journey to one man's death can only be interrupted by time or one other man. Yeah, that one I will never watch again.

When Dustin said "I'm having a blast" you only need to look at Hooker's face.

Such a brutal fight. The COVID no fan era of fights was nasty because you could hear every punch and kick so clear, and this was the best fight of that era

Quite possibly the most savage fight you'll ever see

Fun fact: Dustin actually said that he was unconscious for second or two at the end of round 2 after that knee, and you can actually see that Dustin went limp before his back touched the cage there, 2:48. Probably my all time favorite fight in any fight sport.

Absolute fucking warriors. The more you understand about true fighting the more you appreciate a battle like this, unreal performance by both men.

What makes this fight amazing was the sound of those punches , it deserved a crowd but it needed silence, Bisping's best work as a commentator lol.

Don't want to hear any disrespect towards Dustin, bro is a DAWG!

This is still one of the best fights of probably all time

Those standing hammer fists were effective

I remember watching this fight at the pub at the time. We all commented that this would be life changing for the amount of damage taken during these exchanges. To hear those shots and to hear how excited and also concerned bisping and dom were during the fight, showed is how savage the fight was. Dan hasn't been the same since, and even dustin avoids those massive fire fights now. Much respect to both fighters. epic

Top 5 combat sports fights ever. Between boxing, wrestling, mma, there’s only a handful of fights that beat this

"He really thought he was gonna get past me and move up" Damn Daniel. so fucking close

Fight of the year... I remember I was going crazy watching this live

Bisping reacting to the brutal punches is gold in this vid 🤣🤣🤣

If Hooker got the stoppage I was in for 5000 euro, I was sweating bullets with heart palpitations at that round 2

"Listen to Bisping" - Poirier He is on another level of awareness

I’ve watched this fight 10 times, just a masterclass on both sides

unreal fight, they're flowing back and forth with long combos and big counters and pitching punches like baseballs. insane toughness and heart

Best back n forth boxing I've seen in a mma fight, ever!!!

one of the best fights iv seen live

This is a great fight hightlights, excellent work on the montage, all interesting bits and no commentary cut 🙏 Nice job

Weasle was on point with this fight, Hooker didn't come back in the third round, the end of round 2 was the last time we saw him, and if you notice he's much faster and on point in this fight, his jab was accurate, nowadays he looks slower

Dastin uno de los peleadores más humildes y con un boxeo increíble que he visto !! Pedazo de combate

One of the fights that made me fall in love with the UFC The sounds are so brutal, all their power behind each hit Insane

This fight describes mma so well take downs, submission attempts, hard-core striking

herb dean: “protect yourself at all times” DP & DH: “LMFAAAAAOOOOO”

The silence from the Apex made this fight so much better, covid pandemic had some of the best bangers 💯

I miss quarantine sports, where you just hear the rawness of the sport, the chatter, the hits, the atmosphere. Truly a unique time.

Kept seeing reels of this fight and I was actually gonna rewatch it last night, tremendous timing

These two guys def gave away some life years by fighting each other

This is a fight that I seriously think is one of the UFC’s top 10 fights. And the fact is that not many people seem to know or talk about it. This fight is something seriously out of an action movie.

This fight and tony vs justin, were so violent. Not have a crowd, and hear those shots land was a different experience

This is arguably the best fight im the UFC. It displayed every aspect of MMA beautifully.

One of my favorite fights!

one of the greatest fights of all time. legendar.

We need to see these two fight again

Awesome fight. Can you upload the full fight please?

I watched this live and still come back to it regularly

Epic fight and i hate to say it but given the fact that there's no crowd its alot easier to actually hear what really connects. we need more mics inside the octagon!

One of the best and hardest fights i ever watch 😮

he was never the same after this beating

One of the best fights ever.

I was going crazy like Bisping screaming after every clean hit. In my Top 5 favorite fights ever!

One of the most violent fight i've ever seen. The sound of those punches... Damn !

i think being able to hear punch sounds adds more to this match

Imagine This match with the Crowd 💯

This is one of my favorite fights ever

Imagine this being your first time watching any mma fight.

Imagine if there's crowd for this fight 💥🔥🔥🔥

Dustin is the best fighter in the UFC man. He’s versatile, agile and tough as nails. All with grace and style. Love it all

This was one of Dustin’s hardest fights. He had to dig deep for this one and its surprising to me. Well done Dan, but Dustin had more dog in him.

Dustin has some of the best close range phone booth boxing I have seen

This is one of the best fights I’ve ever seen

One of the greatest mma wars of all time , such a shame it was in the Apex this would've blew the roof off t-mobile arena

FINALLY someone posted highlights, couldn't find HD highlights or full fight anywhere

Those covid fights were some of the best, no crowd noise you can hear every brutal strike that lands and the cometors going crazy. This one is up there with Mcdonald VS Lawler

One of my favourite fights of all time!

Best ufc fight ever...

2:27 - Hooker's combo is so precise, clean, powerful. Amazing.

Great fight! Respect both fighters! 💪 🍻

Dustin did to Hooker what Justin did to Tony

Imagine this Hooker vs Gaethje 🤯

My favorite fight I ever watched

Im here because someone commeted about how loud and scary these hits sounds. The crowd suppresses the hits dramatically. This is a completely different experience!

the spirit of BJ Penn, BOX & JITS

Best fight of all time

Bro a lot of crazy fights were without a crowd wow. Imagine the crowd on this one.

man this fight deserved a crowd smh.

love the glove sounds

Dois grandes, baita luta, UFC, MMA!! 💯🦾🦿

I wish Dan would have had more wrestling it would be cool to see him have more control in some of the closer exchanges

The hits sound so much harder without an audience cheering 😬

Must be crazy being able to hear the commentary on your own fight!

Now these dudes are real warriors. Imagine getting punched like that and staying up to take some more.

Kinda felt like Dan won idk

One of the best fights ever

This was one of the best ever fights I've watched in my 15+ years of watching the UFC. They were swinging like crazy. Dustin definitely had the upper hand in the end though.

Fight of the year 2020

The fight that changed Dan forever

damn bro , look at this my favorite fight on the world , this is fight baby🔥🔥🔥🔥

THE MAN!! Love him!

I come back to this fight from time to time and all I can do is thank Dustin and Dan from the bottom of my heart for this performance. Both are equally incredible for withstanding so much and taking this fight to an utter violent, yet beautiful, level. I hate to make this comment too long but what makes it so much more intense is hearing each shot land, hearing the breathing and also hearing everyone's reactions of the strikes of each competitor. It wouldn't be the same with a crowd.

Best fight I’ve ever watched. By far.

My 2020 fight of the year, Dan Hooker and Dustin Poirier had an absolute war 👏👏👏👏 good times 😊

Both of them are super durable and skilled.

Jon aniks commentary summed this fight up perfectly 😂

This fight was so good still one of my favourite fights.. Dan gets so much disrespect by fans now and I don’t know why dudes a beast still
