UFC lightweight fighter Dan Hooker is drawing attention to his private life for allegations that he cheated on his wife.
The situation caught the public eye when an Instagram influencer who goes by @keekgrace made claims that Hooker had cheated and damaged her life. This led to a fiery video message from his father-in-law, Andrew Bernal, calling the UFC fighter a “piece of s—.”
Hooker’s wife, Isabella Hooker, shared her frustration about the allegations on social media, adding more fuel to the fire.
“This is a message for Dan Hooker. Tough guy, UFC fighter, yeah. All I have seen of late is you’re a–whopped in the cage, a– beating, okay?

My daughter and my granddaughter deserve better. They don’t deserve a piece of s—like you.
