First face-to-face, first head-on exchanges, the duel between Benoît Saint Denis and Dan Hooker is launched. This Thursday, the two MMA fighters participated in the press conference in public in Sydney, three days before their highly anticipated fight. The opportunity to provoke slightly but above all to tempt the fans by promising a “bloodbath”.
Almost at home, he who is New Zealander, Dan Hooker was logically acclaimed by the public as soon as he entered the stage. And his words provoked howls from the crowd. “The fans know what to expect when I step into the cage. There will be blood guys, he exclaimed. If you want to go to war, I’ll take you to a fucking war. I don’t do this business any other way than that. »
Booed when he took the microphone, Benoît Saint Denis did not break down and reacted with a smile. “I don’t need to sell this fight, everyone knows it’s going to be a war, everything you expect and more,” he promised. I can’t wait to be in the octagon with him. It’s a bloodbath. »
Eighth in the UFC lightweight category, the Frenchman has the opportunity to continue his progression in the rankings against a very experienced opponent appreciated by the organization. Sixth, Dan Hooker is best known for the memorable fights he was able to achieve, notably against Dustin Poirier. The two men then ended up in a pitiful state, both heading to the hospital after leaving the cage. A trap to avoid for “God of War”.
