Dan Hooker has done some critical reflection following back-to-back losses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hooker admitted that he won\u2019t grow to be a UFC champion after his three-fight win streak within the lightweight division was ended last 12 months.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

In typical \u2018The Hangman\u2019 fashion, that didn\u2019t stop him from wading right back into the fireplace when making a fast turnaround to face one other top opponent.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Hooker\u2019s loss to Benoit Saint-Denis has seemingly had a huge impact on where he believes his profession is at following some honest admissions from the fan favorite.<\/p>\n

Dan Hooker admits he\u2019s not been dedicated to his training camps since his 2022 win over Claudio Puelles<\/h2>\n

Before Dan Hooker was beaten by Arman Tsarukyan last November, he was in the perfect form that he\u2019s been in for quite a while.<\/p>\n

Despite this, \u2018The Hangman\u2019 recently revealed that he knows where he went flawed in his recent losses, and it began during his three-fight winning streak.<\/p>\n

Hooker told Submission Radio<\/a> that he believes he\u2019s been \u201ccheating the grind\u201d and never being as dedicated as he must be.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to be capable of coast through the Jalin Turner fight and I used to be capable of coast through the [Mateusz] Gamrot fight but then I\u2019d been coasting for thus long that when it got here to the Arman fight and the \u2018BSD\u2019 [Benoit Saint-Denis] fight, yeah you’ll be able to\u2019t coast for that long. You’ve to get back on there and you will have to place within the work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hooker believes that every one the time he spent being completely dedicated before this allowed him to get away with it before it caught as much as him in his recent outings.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Hangman\u2019 believes that the last time he was putting in maximum effort during his preparations was when he snapped a two-fight skid by beating Claudio Puelles in 2022.<\/p>\n

When his coaches assumed that this wasn\u2019t the case for his huge win over Gamrot in 2024, he corrected them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to be like, \u2018Nah, brother. I drank daily that camp. I had the foot off the grind stone that camp too.’\u201d<\/p>\n
