UFC Record Breakdown
Chase Hooper is getting a homecoming fight in Seattle, and the UFC gave him a wild stylistic puzzle in Lance Gibson Jr. Hooper's been on a tear lately, submitting Clay Guida with a slick armbar at UFC 310, then grinding out a decision over the legendary Jim Miller. But then Alexander Hernandez knocked him out cold in the first round back in August, reminding everyone that Hooper's striking defense is still a work in progress. Gibson is stepping into the Octagon for the first time in over two decades, which is absolutely insane. His last UFC appearance was way back at UFC 29 in Tokyo, where Evan Tanner finished him with ground and pound. Here's the thing about Hooper.
If this hits the ground in the first round, expect Hooper to hunt for the finish immediately.
When he gets you to the mat, it's basically over. That D'Arce choke he locked up on Viacheslav Borshchev was nasty, and the rear naked choke against Jordan Leavitt took less than three minutes. The kid is a submission artist through and through, training out of Combat Sport & Fitness with that southpaw stance that sets up his grappling entries perfectly. Sherdog recently highlighted Hooper as a deluxe grappling specialist when breaking down Jordan Leavitt's recent matchup, showing that his ground game reputation extends well beyond his own fights. Gibson comes from the old school era and trains at his own gym in Canada, so we're talking about completely different generations of MMA here.
The big question is whether Gibson can keep this standing and make Hooper pay for his defensive holes. Hooper's been finished by strikes before, and if Gibson still has that timing from his knockout win over Jermaine Andre back in 2000, this could get interesting. But if Hooper drags this to the ground like he usually does, Gibson's going to be in deep water fast. The UFC Seattle lineup is nearly complete with 11 confirmed bouts, and this homecoming scrap for The Dream is officially locked in.
