Dan Hooker Says He Won’t “Fake It” Like Colby Covington to Win Fans

Hooker dismissed the idea of adopting a trash-talking persona like #10-ranked welterweight Covington, saying he values authenticity over popularity. “People can hate me for being me, that’s all right. You don’t want to be Colby, scared people won’t like real you,” Hooker said, insisting he’d rather be genuine than play a character. He fights Arman Tsarukyan on 22 November next.
