'The Dream' said: "I feel like he's [Steve Garcia] is kind of wild on the feet. I wouldn't say he's necessarily a brawler, but he's definitely got some brawlerish tendencies. I don't think he uses his length to his advantage." Hooper added that while his opponent likes to grapple, he would have a hard time keeping the 23-year-old on the ground: "He also really likes to grapple. I've seen him pretty much anytime he gets hit flush in a fight, he immediately dives in for a shot. Tries to wrestle, tries to do some grappling. So, I think it was Ontiveros his one win at 155 lbs. Not taking anything away from him but Ontiveros' grappling was non-existent in that fight. I don't think anybody is just going to hold me down and lay on me. I won't be like Ngannou in the first Stipe fight, just look at the clock and nod." Chase Hooper referred to the first fight between Francis Ngannou and Stipe Miocic at UFC 220. Miocic used his wrestling to nullify Ngannou's onslaught on the feet and retained his heavyweight throne. Watch our exclusive interview with Chase Hooper below: Chase Hooper predicts the outcome of his fight against Steve Garcia at UFC Fight Night UFC featherweight up-and-comer Chase Hooper will lock horns with Steve Garcia at UFC Fight Night next month. 'The Dream' has had a bumpy road in the last couple of fights with two losses and two victories. However, Hooper is full of confidence and in good spirits going into the fight against Garcia. Speaking to James Lynch in an exclusive interview on Sportskeeda MMA, Hooper predicted the outcome of the fight: "I really truly feel like I can win wherever the fight ends up. Same as with the Felipe [Colares] fight I believe that I can beat him wherever the fight ends up. So it's really just trying to trust my instincts in the moment. And know that I'm making the right decision, not to kind of doubt myself or hold back or anything. But at the end, I'm always trying to get out of there early. TKO like the last couple, submission, whatever.. I'm happy to end the night early."UFC Europe@UFCEuropeNot just a grappler, Hooper with the G&P finish! @Chase_Hooper looking like a whole different fighter here tonight! #UFCVegas55648Not just a grappler, Hooper with the G&P finish! @Chase_Hooper looking like a whole different fighter here tonight! #UFCVegas55 https://t.co/3y2exzVQwO Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by C.
