Apparently, his hospital visit has been extended for at least another day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He was visibly concussed several times, I believe,&#8221; Hooker&#8217;s coach Eugene Bareman told <a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/espn\/now?nowId=21-41049060-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESPN<\/a>. &#8220;We have a very good set of protocols within the gym to take care of him. It&#8217;s a ruthless game we play. Painful for me to watch that from a distance, but we have been here before many times, so I&#8217;m looking forward to the return.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While Bareman believes Dan Hooker is concussed, there is some good news. Hooker did not suffer any broken bones despite Edson Barboza&#8217;s relentless assault.<\/p>\n<p>Post-fight, UFC President Dana White applauded Dan Hooker&#8217;s toughness, but shared his belief that the fight should have been stopped sooner.<\/p>\n<p id=\"dClzg6\">&#8220;He\u2019s got nothin to be upset about. He showed a ton of toughness tonight, a ton of heart,\u201d White told Fox Sports of Hooker (transcript via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2018\/12\/16\/18143028\/dana-white-edson-barboza-dan-hooker-should-have-been-stopped-earlier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cThe fight actually should have been stopped earlier than it was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"pUmkEj\">\u201dAnd Edson Barboza? Wow,\u201d he added. \u201cThat kid came out tonight and made a statement. He\u2019s nasty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This loss marks the end of a four-fight win streak for Dan Hooker. The Kiwi&#8217;s streak was composed of stoppage defeats of Gilbert Burns, Jim Miller, Marc Diakiese and Ross Pearson. He&#8217;s now 17-8 overall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 12\/16\/2018.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday night, in the co-main event of UFC Milwaukee, streaking UFC lightweight contender Dan Hooker stepped into the cage with Brazilian knockout artist Edson Barboza in what was easily one of the biggest tests of his career thus far.
