Hooker explains why he laughed at Volkanovski's defeat

Dan Hooker, number ten in the UFC lightweight rankings, explained why he reacted so strangely to the early defeat of Alex Volkanovski in his fight with Ilia Topuria.

“In my opinion, Wolf is the best fighter to ever put on gloves. I think he looked great and started to successfully implement his plan for the fight, but he got caught. I couldn’t believe my eyes and at that moment I thought, “What a stupid sport we are doing,” and laughed at myself,” the fighter wrote on social networks.

Earlier, Hooker posted a photo on social media of the team's reaction to the Volkanovski fiasco, and Dan was the only one laughing in the photo.
