“Dumb C*nt Thinks He Can Fly to Australia Hire a Nurse To Give Him an IV and We Won’t Find Out” – Dan Hooker Throws Allegations Post UFC 284: Volkanovski vs. Islam

Following UFC 284, MMA fans have thrown around quite a few controversial topics and questions. Although a majority of them have been on some of the judge’s decisions and scoring, especially in the main event, another tweet by Lightweight Dan Hooker has added a new angle to the event at Perth. In a fresh tweet, the 33-year-old has accused an unknown individual, most probably a fighter, of using an IV. The use of IV, as per regulations, is not allowed in the UFC, even during the process of rehydration after a weight cut. USADA bans fighters from IV use owing to the fact that it can be utilized as a means of injecting banned substances.

Hooker’s tweet, if true, could eventually be a serious issue considering that any fighter found using it is subjected to a lengthy ban. Although it is also important to note that there has been no official announcement as of now, and the UFC lightweight’s tweet could just be mere speculation.

Dan Hooker slams unknown fighter for IV use following UFC 284

Hooker who trains out of City Kickboxing was present in the RAC arena to support teammate and featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski. After a close fight, which the Australian lost via decision, many, including the fighter, were disappointed at the scoring of the fight.

Now almost 24 hours later, to add to the controversy on poor judging, Dan Hooker’s tweet has left fans scratching their hand on who the New Zealander was pointing out. Without naming anyone, Hooker slammed the unknown individual on his tweet:

“Dumb c*** thinks he can fly to Australia hire a nurse to give him an I.V. and we won’t find out. Cheating dog.” Read his tweet.

Even fans on Twitter had no clue, although they did not hesitate in throwing a few names out.

Despite the terrible news, the lightweight uploaded a photo of him smiling and showing off his injured hand on Instagram and even showed up at the UFC 284 event to support his teammates.

Despite being out of the upcoming UFC 285 card, Hooker has now raised many eyebrows with this latest tweet. Although the responses on it were mere name-throwing by fans, one cannot help but wonder who the fighter is accusing of IV use in his tweet. Ultimately, this news can only be proven true if UFC or the USADA makes an official announcement, and fans should treat it as speculation and nothing more as of now.
