However, as the fight began, it was &#8220;Iron&#8221; who was walking down Hooker and threatening his takedowns. Once he got the Kiwi&#8217;s hands down, he landed a hard shot that dropped Hooker and finished him off with a few more punches to win by first-round TKO.<\/p>\n<p>The win was a massive win for Michael Chandler. It is likely he will get a big fight next time out against the likes of Dustin Poirier, Charles Oliveira, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/michael-chandler\/michael-chandler-wants-justin-gaethje-next-to-prove-whos-the-most-violent-fighter-in-the-ufc\/\">or Justin Gaethje<\/a>. He also proved to the world he is as good as he said he was.<\/p>\n<p>For Dan Hooker, the loss to Michael Chandler was a tough one. It was his second loss in a row after losing a decision to Dustin Poirier last June. When he will return is uncertain, but for now, Hooker will be counting down the days until he can be reunited with his family.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think we ever see Michael Chandler fight Dan Hooker again?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Chandler has offered his support to Dan Hooker.
