Dan Hooker announces Treasure Hunt to find the latest tickets available for controversial ‘King of the Streets’ event

If you’ve ever wondered what kind of hunter than hooker is, you just have to look at his interview after the fight after UFC 290. Stand with Joe Rogan, blood drunk after a war with Jalin Turner, the resident of New Zealand was asked if he was sorrowing a broken arm in the fight. His reaction? With a smile he shot back with, “Just a scratch”, And later shared an X-ray of the break on his social media account.

But this time he brought things to a whole new level. With a few days left for his underground ‘King of the Streets’ event, the UFC star has dumped traditional last-minute ticket sales in favor of something more adventurous. Fans scrolling through his Instagram were recently met with a strange view. The veteran 155-ponder stood in a field, dressed in gray sweat, teased what is perhaps the most bizarre ticket-giving action in fighting history.

The broken arm mentioned above? That is also in the game! In the video, Hooker starts by announcing: “There are only four tickets available for the fighting of this Saturday. How to win two of them is tag who you take the reactions, but make sure you follow the doctor because he is the one who will choose the winner. “

‘The Doctor’ quoted is Ashtin James, a social media star who has 258k followers on Instagram and reportedly the man who helps hooker to set the event. Then came the real turn. ‘The Hangman’ brought out a small plastic container, which contained the metal plate that was once placed in his arm. Was it the one of the aftermath of the Turner fight? It’s hard to say.

Nevertheless, he continued by revealing: ‘The second that I have here is the sign that the doctor has removed from my arm. It also has the address for this Saturday fight and will serve as the last two tickets. I’m going to hide it somewhere here. First first to find it. I see you on Saturday. “

Although the promo may feel a scene from a Guy Ritchie film, many critics do not laugh. The ‘King of the Streets’ event is called ‘Straight-Out Thuggerige’ by the Billy Meehan of New Zealand’s Boxing Coaches Association President. His greatest care? The lack of rules. No weight classes. No sanction. And no medical checks. Only one minute pieces with 4OZ MMA gloves and $ 50,000 on the line.

According to a report from the Nieuw -Zeelandse Herald, MEHAN was quoted as an explanation, “What you have there are just criminals who come in and go out and they are just beating each other and we will see that someone is seriously injured, if not killed.”

Hooker and colleague UFC star Israel Adesanya have been all-in for day one. In another video shared on Hooker’s social media account, Adesanya stated: ‘Bring the family, bring the whānau, bring everyone, come and see, you are switched off or leave someone the F -. “

But despite all the controversy, there is a well -known rhythm. The story may not be the same, but the UFC and Dana White had to go through something similar in the origin of the promotion!

The ‘King of the Streets’ event from Dan Hooker is confronted with the same obstacles as early UFC

When the American senator John McCain looked at his first UFC fight, he was immediately shocked. A man was on top of his opponent and hit away, no referee, no rules. McCain has not chopped words. ‘That’s not a sport, “ He said years later. “That is a return to the Roman Colosseum.” McCain was responsible for mentioning MMA “Human Cockfighting” in 1996 in a letter to all 50 governors of the State. The result? Cable companies pulled the plug. Income disappeared. The UFC staggered on the edge.

But as former UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta mentioned in an earlier interview, “If Senator McCain was not to force the issue of regulations in MMA, the sport would not exist and bloom like today.” Now, decades later, Hooker can be confronted with his own ‘McCain -moment’.

As mentioned above, his ‘King of the Streets’ tournament comes under the same research as the UFC in the early days. Billy Meehan, the man who is in charge, has stated: ‘Someone is going to be injured. They actually tell both parties to just go outside and smash. “

And then there is reportedly the lack of transparency. According to Meehan, Hooker’s event is not even authorized under the wrestling and boxing law of Nieuw -Zeeland. That raises the question, just like John McCain’s push forms the UFC, can Meehan’s indignation send the street residues of Hooker to slightly more sustainable? Why or why not?
