UFC star Dan Hooker and his preoccupation with USADA doesn’t seem to end in the foreseeable future. The lightweight fighter again minced a statement against the organization tasked with keeping a check on the athletes. Jumping on former UFC champion Israel Adesanya’s bandwagon, ‘The Hangman’ added another row of jibes directed against USADA. The New Zealander, who first came with all guns blazing and accused the division champion Islam Makhachev of cheating, recently accused the supervising body of mistreatment. While his fellow compatriot advocated for more stringent procedures, this afforded a window for him to land a cheeky jibe.
