Hooker criticizes Covington

Dan Hooker recently told Sky Sports he values authenticity and took aim at Colby Covington's on-camera persona.

He reportedly contrasted being true to yourself with crafting a character to stay relevant.

The comment comes as Covington has had mixed results lately, reportedly winning only once in his last four fights.

Hooker has also been involved in a social-media spat with Paddy Pimblett after an exchange that drew public backlash.

Hooker is scheduled to return on January 31, 2026 against Benoit Saint Denis at UFC 325 in Sydney.

Pimblett is reportedly set to face Justin Gaethje for the interim lightweight title on January 24, 2026 at UFC 324.
