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.

Notably, the 33-year-old fighter, who is at odds with USADA, took to his Twitter handle as he voiced his opinion about the organization. He called it a figurative entity and hinted at its inactivity. However, MMA fans saw the comment in a different spectrum, which led to the backlash against him.

Dana Hooker’s recent USADA accusations
The City Kickboxing gym representative told The AllStar paid multiple visits to him over a stretch of the past few weeks.
Therefore, he admitted, “… Two-three knocks on my door at six a.m. by USADA, blood and p*ss over the last couple of weeks, and you think that’s a coincidence? That ain’t no coincidence, baby.”

“I’m sure you know what I mean, but it’s like on the same hand you think I’m just gonna like shut up and bite my tongue,” he added later on.
Dan Hooker finally broke his two-loss slump when he defeated Claudio Puelles at UFC 281. While he was booked to feature on the UFC 285 fight card, the former kickboxer injured his hand and is currently catering to his injury.
