Chase Hooper Rallies, Stops Peter Barrett With Heel-Hook – UFC 256 Highlights

Hooper

On the verge of a momentum snapping second straight loss, featherweight prospect, Chase ‘The Dream’ Hooper rallied expertly in the third-round, to nab a heel-hook submission of striker, Peter Barrett.

Suffering a slew of early and often leg kick attacks, Hooper was against the kosh from the get go, failing to land anything majorly impactful with a single round remaining in the night’s first bout. Shooting twice for an imanari roll on occasion in the second, Hooper briefly threatened.

Compremised due to a barrage of calf kicks, Hooper once more utilised an imanari roll to close range, this time setting up an inverted heel-hook with three-minutes elapsed on the final-round clock, eventually forcing the tap from Mark DellaGrote product, Barrett.
