Mateusz Gamrot vs. Dan Hooker is a duel between two fantastic lightweights, each with plenty of weapons in their arsenal. Betting odds are favoring Gamrot who’s on a 3-win run, but let’s not forget that “The Hangman” will (probably) have the crowd at Perth’s RAC Arena cheer in his favor.
Before Betting on Gamrot vs. Hooker
Mateusz Gamrot is a hell of a wrestler who was the champion of Europe in submission wrestling on two occasions. The 33-year-old Polish fighter uses his wrestling skills to land 5.28 takedowns per 15 minutes on average.
In his most recent fight – against former UFC Lightweight champ Rafael Dos Anjos – this guy landed 11 takedowns. This is very bad news for Dan Hooker whose takedown defense is 80%. That’s not too bad, but the thing is that we’re not sure if he can keep Gamrot at a distance.
Sure, the New Zealander is superior when it comes to striking, but he also gets hit a lot. He absorbs 4.76 significant strikes a minute, which is significantly more than Gamrot (3.07).
Gamrot vs. Hooker Offshore Odds & Pick
| Fighter | Odds |
|---|---|
| Mateusz Gamrot | -245 |
| Dan Hooker | +210 |
Hooker will probably have the crowd to support him, which should put him in the fight mood. However, this can also make him reckless, which is something Gamrot can take advantage of. Our prediction is that he will land a takedown and finish his opponent on the floor, either by submission or with ground and pound.
