UFC lightweight Dan Hooker has admitted that he needs to change things up in a big way following his recent loss to Dustin Poirier.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Back at the end of June, “Hangman” went to war with “The Diamond” in what many believe to be the male Fight of the Year thus far. Despite a spirited effort from the New Zealand native, Poirier was able to get the job done and score a huge unanimous decision victory to vault himself right back into title contention.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Hooker, on the other hand, appears to have taken a step back in order to figure out what exactly he needs to change in the future, as he noted during a recent Instagram post.<\/p>\r\n

Being a nasty son of a gun that loves to scrap got me this far. But I’m missing a huge piece of the puzzle, the “championship mindset”. I experienced it against Poirier and I saw it last night with Volk. To everyone on this journey with me, I will make the necessary adjustments and be back stronger than ever. I have lost many times, but remain undefeated. #evolveordissolve<\/a><\/p>\r\n
