Don’t sleep on @ultrapouches. New customers get 50% Off with code CHAEL at https://takeultra.com ! #UltraPouches #adBad Dan Hooker recently found himself in the middle of a rumor that had nothing to do with fighting. A story resurfaced involving a past personal relationship, and suddenly the MMA world was talking about gossip instead of fights. Hooker made the unusual decision to address it directly. According to Hooker, the situation involved a consensual arrangement with an adult, and the person involved later chose to speak publicly after the relationship ended. Chael believes Hooker handled the situation the right way — by telling the truth and addressing it head-on. But Chael also explains why stories like this can be dangerous for fighters, and why sometimes the smartest PR move is to say one final thing: "This is the last time I’m going to speak about this." Chael also reflects on a similar situation involving Brock Lesnar, and why letting time pass can sometimes be the only way for controversies like this to disappear. At the end of the day, Chael says the focus should be on what Dan Hooker is actually known for — fighting in the Octagon and continuing his climb toward a title opportunity. Because if we’re going to talk about Dan Hooker…it should probably be about fighting.
