00:01A couple of fighters with a bit of a home game. Lance Gibson Jr. from nearby Port Moody, British Columbia
00:06and Chase Hooper from just outside Seattle. Gibson Jr.'s in the red, Hooper's in the black.
00:15Sizable betting favorite here as they clap leg kicks and then a big left hand swing from Hooper.
00:20Getting right to it. Hooper getting aggressive right off the bat. That's what he's got to do and that's the
00:24gift of his style. He doesn't care if you take him down so why not just throw everything you got.
00:28Be as unsafe as you want. You don't got to worry about stopping the takedown because people usually don't want
00:33to take you down.
00:33No, they don't want to take him down, but the problem is he's a tall guy. So because they're shorter,
00:38at times they throw those looping punches and they can't hurt him.
00:41And honestly, that's happened when he fought Hernandez. He got hurt very early in the fight and it finished.
00:47It was late first round. It was going great for Hooper. He's really controlling the space and then got a
00:51little reckless, rushed in.
00:53Oh, nice shot. Hooper, single leg right now. Gibson trying to muscle him off.
00:57It was good timing, too. I mean, the way he links his punches to the takedown is what you want
01:01to be doing.
01:02Oh, that's big elbows as Hooper's trying to hide the target.
01:05Good defense here shown by Gibson so far.
01:08Nice job by Gibson. He was able to find some damaging strikes to make Hooper want to break back free.
01:13Did a real good job of bouncing around on that leg, landing some damage and getting his foot back down
01:17to the mat.
01:18The moment his foot got down to the mat, it got very heavy, and Chase let it go.
01:33Oh, a potty shot. Nice rip there by Gibson.
02:00Whoa. That got around the guard.
02:03And that's a problem because Gibson at times, when he does avoid strikes, he drops his hands.
02:09Because he's slipping, but he's slipping without his hands up by his face.
02:14Got to be very careful.
02:17Oh, Hooper! Oh, Hooper! Oh, Hooper! Oh, Hooper! Oh, Hooper! Oh, Hooper! Oh, Hooper! Oh, Hooper!
02:33Hooper! Because it would be hard for him to chase down Gibson with his hands Right here, he's got a
02:38two-on-one.
02:40He's got to use that to get himself back on that leg.
02:46Right here, watch, Chase just not moving.
02:47Oh! Nice grip.
02:49And then Gibson kicks!
02:51That elbow came out of nowhere.
02:52Hooper is heavily damaged, now he just crumbles to the ground as he tries to grapple.
02:56C'est parti !
