Hooker vows revenge after Pimblett remark

Dan Hooker says a promotional back-and-forth with Paddy Pimblett turned serious after Pimblett made a highly provocative comment about Hooker’s family, and Hooker answered in kind on social media.

Hooker says he intentionally struck back with something he knew would rile Pimblett and that the exchange is no longer just trash talk.

He has indicated the dispute is personal now and suggested he intends to pursue the matter either inside the octagon or elsewhere, though no bout has been arranged.

The spat unfolded as Pimblett is set to headline UFC 324 and Hooker is booked for UFC 325, a schedule that could increase interest in a potential matchup if both fighters win their upcoming fights.

Hooker reportedly stands by his response and expects the conflict to remain a storyline after his next fight, leaving promoters and fans watching for any official developments.
