Dan Hooker chokes out Mark Eddiva in first round at UFC Brisbane

When your nickname is "Hangman" you better have a mean choke to back it up.

Dan Hooker lived up to his moniker when he latched onto the neck of opponent Mark Eddiva and didn't let go until he felt the tap.

It was the first finish of the night at UFC Fight Night 85 and a much-needed burst of violence for the rowdy Australian crowd.
