VIDEO: Israel Adesanya and Dan Hooker play dangerous game involving beehive
City Kickboxing teammates Israel Adesanya and Dan Hooker will both be in action for Saturday's UFC 281 event.
As another monthly UFC pay-per-view looms in the background, that means another series of UFC Embedded episodes is about to hit YouTube in the next few days. The first installment was already dropped earlier today.
UFC 281 participants like UFC women's strawweight champ Carla Esparza, Zhang Weili, and Alex Pereira were featured in the episode. However, the duo of Adesanya and Hooker undeniably stole the show with their shennanigans.
The CKB training partners were seen playing a dangerous game involving a beehive. Hooker was seen throwing stones at the beehive, claiming he can outrun all of his teammates should the bees attack them.
Meanwhile, Adesanya just watched his teammate while he hilariously remembered the 1991 movie My Girl, in which Macaulay Culkin's character dies due to a bee sting. 'The Last Stylebender' said:
"I've seen this movie before – the kid and the girl and he died," said Israel Adesanya. "It just flashbacked in my head 'cause it was fall as well."
Watch the UFC Embedded episode in the clip below:
UFC 281 will take place Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York. Adesanya will headline the event against Alex Pereira for the middleweight title, while Hooker will kick off the the pay-per-view portion of the card against Claudio Puelles.
Dan Hooker gives prediction for Israel Adesanya vs. Alex Pereira
Dan Hooker doesn't doubt that Israel Adesanya will defeat Alex Pereira even if the fight takes place on the feet.
Due to Pereira's knockout win over Adesanya, many believe that the UFC middleweight champion should mix it up in order to get past the challenger. As far as Hooker is concerned, however, Adesanya is just the better fighter no matter where the fight takes place.
Hooker is also convinced that the people who have been counting out his teammate are those who haven't watched the past two fights between the two. 'The Hangman' told Submission Radio:
"That's the funny thing about it, like, people do actually go back and spend the time [watching the first two fights]. I saw the one, like Cejudo puts out the video and he's giving a breakdown of the fight. He's like, 'Alex beat Israel in this fight and then he rematched him and knocked him out. He has the striking advantage.' And then someone commented on it... Someone called him out and asked, 'Did you watch the fights?'"
